• Religion and Economic Development

Poor infrastructure and communication, lack of technological innovation, no division of labor, a focus on local commerce, and a weak banking system.1 Surprisingly, the modern study of religion and economics begins with Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), an examination of conditions leading to the Industrial Revolution. Such a separation, he said, allows for competition, thereby creating a plurality of religious faiths in society.2 By showing no preference for one religion over others, but rather permitting any and all religions to be practiced, the lack of state intervention (short of violence, coercion, and repression) creates an open market in which religious groups engage in rational discussion about religious beliefs. When we look a...

• Foreign Direct Investment As an Engine of Economic Development

The long-term viability of regional common markets, such as the EU, will depend on whether the income, investment, and technology gaps that exist between rich and poor members of such unions can be narrowed. This article argues that foreign direct investment (FDI), supported by a rational industrial policy, can play a major role in promoting economic development within an integrated regional market, while reducing inequities within the community. The success of Ireland in attracting inward FDI with the support of EU industrial policy is cited as a positive example in this regard.

• Characteristics of Effective Leaders in Economic Development: An Exploratory Study

For years, significant attention has been given to the topic of leader effectiveness across a variety of situations. In a managerial context, most research almost exclusively focuses on the individual leader and leadership processes in a typical organization with paid employees. Given this contextual nature of leadership, valuable insights into leader effectiveness can be developed through research in varied contexts. One such context is economic development (ED). Clearly, though, ED organizations and ED leaders and leadership processes may have characteristics that differ from those studied in mainstream organizational research. This study is designed to investigate the leader skills and leadership processes successful in an ED context. This study takes a step forward by conducting thi...

• Investment in Stadia and Regional Economic Development-Evidence From Fifa World Cup 2006

Using the case of the new stadiums for the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany, this paper is the first multivariate work that examines the potential income and employment effects of new stadiums outside of the USA. This study is also the first work on this topic that conducts tests on the basis of a (serial correlation consistent) Difference-in-Difference model with level and trends. As a robustness check, we use the "ignoring time series information" model in a form that is modified for non-synchronous interventions. We were not able to identify income or employment effects of the construction of new stadiums for the FIFA World Cup 2006, which are significantly different from zero.
