The transport equipment industry is nowadays amongst the most important manufacturing industries, responsible for a large share of production, exports and R&D in Central and Eastern European countries, particularly the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. This success is due to the fact that strong production linkages with Western European countries have been developed, particularly with Germany, spurred by large inflows of foreign direct investment and the arrival of large international car companies. Production processes in this industry are nowadays heavily internationally fragmented. We use the World Input-Output Database, which allows us to investigate the evolution of these production linkages across European countries and other major economies in the world in this industry. Considering the time period 1995-2011 and applying input-output indicators reveals changing patterns of domestic and international linkages, patterns of vertical specialization and direct and indirect value-added flows across countries in both the Western and Eastern European countries. By utilizing additional data we draw a more detailed picture of the evolution of these production linkages from which all countries have benefitted.

This paper measures the effects of certain customs and administrative procedures on trade between the countries of South-Eastern Europe in the period 2008-2012. Following OECD methodology, we employ the augmented gravity model. The empirical results suggest that the number of days spent at the border and costs paid in both importer and exporter countries had significant negative influence on the volume of trade in the period 2008-2012. In addition, the model underlines that sharing the same border and being part of the former Yugoslav market are important determinants of trade in the region.

The paper analyzes the main characteristics and major changes in manufacturing industry in the old EU member states over the past twenty years, in order to draw some lessons for the Southeast European economies in transition, often referred to as the Western Balkans (WBs) - Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. During the last twenty years the more developed EU member states have experienced substantial changes in the structure of their economies, with services becoming the prevalent sector in terms of the most important indicators. Nevertheless, there is great heterogeneity within the EU regarding the contribution of manufacturing to employment and value added. The global financial and economic crisis from late 2008 onwards has revived the debate about the role of industry, its importance for economic growth and for international competitiveness. In this context, there has also been a renewed interest in industrial policy and reindustrialization. The ongoing analysis of trends in the EU could be extremely relevant for the WB countries, since these countries have gone through a process of strong deindustrialization. Given that their level of economic development is still low, manufacturing industry remains indispensable for future economic growth. The EU experience could offer useful guidelines for formulating future policies in this area.

By using the theoretical model and practical data analysis,the relationship between Shandong province's human capital and economic growth is studied systematically.The results indicate that the current public education system has simulative effect on human capital accumulation and economic growth;material capital and opening up is helpful for the talent aggregation and flow,promoting human capital accumulation,which is conducive to economic growth;Fiscal decentralization is conducive to economic growth and human capital accumulation;excessive financial burden has the opposite effect.Proposal is made on accumulating of human capital and promoting economic growth.
