About the Book

HauptbeschreibungUnternehmen konkurrieren um Kunden, wnhrend Regionen und Staaten um Unternehmen, um deren Arbeitsplntze und Steuerzahlungen konkurrieren. Bei der Standortwahl mssen die Unternehmen weder absatz- noch input-orientiert sein. Vielmehr kAnnen sie auch - als footloose industries - allein Lohnkostenvorteile nutzen. Fr Hochlohn-Standorte wie Deutschland kommt es somit umso mehr darauf an, den Unternehmen attraktive Standorteigenschaften zu bieten.International und einschlngig ausgewiesene Wissenschaftler der Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitute CEPII (Paris), Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft (KAln), ifo Institut (Mnchen), Institut fr Weltwirtschaft (Kiel) sowie HWWA (Hamburg) legen die Ergebnisse aktueller v.a. empirischer Studien vor, die u.a. aufzeigen, welche Standorteigenschaften fr international orientierte Unternehmen von besonderer Bedeutung sind, in welche Richtung in Deutschland ein Programm zur Standortstnrkung und zur berwindung der Wachstumsschwnche zielen msste, welche Auswirkungen Investitionen deutscher Firmen im Ausland auf die Beschnftigung in Deutschland haben.Enterprises compete for clients, whereas regions and states compete for enterprises, jobs and tax revenues. Enterprises selecting where to locate do not have to orient themselves towards markets or inputs: as footloose industries, they can simply move to where they find the lowest wages. For high-wage countries like Germany it is, thus, all the more important to offer enterprises attractive locational conditions.Internationally renowned economists from the research institutes CEPII (Paris), IW (Cologne), Ifo (Munich), IfW (Kiel) and HWWA (Hamburg) present results of recent, mainly empirical studies. They discuss the most important locational conditions for enterprises, the central objectives of a program to stimulate growth and improve Germany's attractiveness as a business location, and the net effects of outgoing investment on the German labour market.aInhaltsverzeichnisInhalt: L.
