Abstract

BRAND S., HILL S. and MUNDAY M. (2000) Assessing the impacts of foreign manufacturing on regional economies: the cases of Wales, Scotland and the West Midlands, Reg. Studies 34, 343-355. This paper examines the direct and indirect contributions made by foreign manufacturing companies to the regional economies of Wales, Scotland and the West Midlands. Survey data derived from foreign manufacturers in each region were used in conjunction with regional input-output tables to assess the comparative contributions of defined foreign and domestically owned sectors to regional value added. The analyses are a starting point for the more accurate targeting of regional resources to industry sectors in the respective regional economies. BRAND S., HILLS S. et MUNDAY M. (2000) Evaluer les retombées de l'industrie étrangère sur les économies régionales: étude de cas du Pays de Galles, de l'Ecosse et des West Midlands, Reg. Studies 34, 343-355. Cet article cherche ¤ a examiner les rôles direct et indirect joué par les entreprises industrielles étrangères dans les économies régionales du Pays de Galles, de l'Ecosse et des West Midlands. A partir des données provenant d'une enquête auprès des industriels étrangers situés dans chaque région, conjointement avec des tableaux d'échanges intersectoriels, on évalue le rôle comparatif dans la valeur ajoutée régionale de quelques secteurs ¤ a capital étranger ou domestique bien définis. Ces analyses constituent un premier pas dans le ciblage plus juste des ressources régionales affectées aux secteurs industriels dans les économies régionales en question. BRAND S., HILLS S. und MUNDAY M. (2000) Beurteilung der Auswirkung ausländischer Herstellung auf Regionalwirtschaften: der Fall Wales, Schottland und westliches Mittelland, Reg. Studies 34, 343-355. Dieser Aufsatz untersucht den direkten und den indirekten Beitrag ausländischer Firmen der herstellenden Industrie auf die Regionalwirtschaften von Wales. Schottland und dem westlichen Mittelland des Vereinigten Königreichs. Daten von Umfragen unter ausländischen Herstellern in jeder dieser Regionen wurden in Verbindung mit regionalen Aufwands-und Ertragstabellen dazu benutzt, die vergleichsweisen Beiträge bestimmter ausländischer und im Inlandbesitz befindlicher Sektoren auf regionalen Mehrwert hin zu bewerten. Die Analysen stellen einen Ausgangspunkt für ein genaueres Abzielen auf regionale Reserven für Industriesektoren in den jeweiligen Regionalwirtschaften dar.
