Abstract

BARKLEY D. L. and MCNAMARA K. T. (1994) Local input linkages: a comparison of foreign-owned and domestic manufacturers in Georgia and South Carolina, Reg. Studies 28, 725--737. Input purchasing patterns of foreign-owned and domestic manufacturers were compared to determine if local economic impacts varied by country of ownership. Input purchasing data were obtained from a 1990 survey of South Carolina and Georgia manufacturers. Tobit estimation results indicate nonmetro foreign-owned firms had significantly higher propensities to purchase inputs in-county than domestic branch plants located in nonmetro counties. No significant differences existed between the input purchase propensities of metro domestic and foreign-owned manufacturers. However, foreign-owned firms were disproportionately represented in industries with relatively weak indirect and induced effects on the local economies. Relatively strong overall impacts may not be associated with the relatively large initial input purchases of foreign-owned firms. BARKLEY D. L. et MCNAMARA K. T. (1994) Les liens locaux relatifs aux inputs: une comparaison des fabricants autochtones et étrangers en Géorgie et en Caroline du Sud, Reg. Studies 28, 725--737. On fait une comparaison des caractéristiques des achats d'inputs des fabricants étrangers et autochtones afin de déterminer si les effets économiques locaux varient suivant le pays d'origine. Des données concernant les achats d'inputs proviennent d'une enquête menée en 1990 auprès des fabricants de la Caroline du Sud et de la Géorgie. Des estimations du type 'Tobit’ démontrent que les entreprises étrangères situées hors des métropoles ont une propension à acheter leurs inputs à l'intérieur du comté qui s'avère beaucoup plus élevée par rapport à celle des établissements autochtones situés dans les comtés hors des métropoles. On ne constate pas d'importantes différences entre les propensions à acheter des inputs des fabricants des métropoles, soit autochtones, soit étrangers. Cependant les entreprises étrangères sont surreprésentées dans les industries ayant des effets indirects et induits relativement faibles sur les économies locales. II se peut que des impacts globaux relativement forts ne remontent pas aux premiers achats d'inputs non-négligeables des entreprises étrangères. BARKLEY D. L. und MCNAMARA K. T. (1994) Örtliche Eingangsverknüpfungen: Ein Vergleich sich in einheimischem und ausländischem Besitz befindlicher Herstellerfirmen in Georgia und Südkarolina, Reg. Studies 28, 725--737. Eingangskaufmuster sich in einheimischem und ausländischem Besitz befindlicher Herstellerfirmen wurden verglichen, um festzustellen, ob wirtschaftliche Auswirkungen am Orte sich nach Besitzernationalität unterscheiden. Eingangskaufdaten wurden einer Umfrage unter Herstellern von Südkarolina und Georgia im Jahre 1990 entnommen. Tobitschätzungsergebnisse weisen darauf hin, daß nicht in Großstädten ansässige Firmen in ausländischem Besitz bedeutend stärker geneigt waren, Aufwand in der näheren Umgebung zu erwerben als einheimische, in großstadtfreien Grafschaften ansässige Zweigbetriebe. Zwischen der Eingangskaufneigung großstädtischer einheimischer Herstellerbetriebe und solchen in ausländischem Besitz bestanden keine signifikanten Unterschiede. In ausländischem Besitz befindliche Firmen waren jedoch unverhältnismäßig stark in Industrien mit verhältnismäßig geringen indirekten und induzierten Auswirkungen auf die Wirtschaft am Orte vertreten. Relativ nachhaltige Gesamtauswirkungen dürfen nicht mit den relativ umfangreichen anfanglichen Eingangskäufen von Firmen in ausländischem Besitz in Verbindung gebracht werden.
