Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models
Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2003
Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

The Impact of Regional Absorptive Capacity on Spatial Knowledge Spillovers
Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2008
We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Why are some Spanish regions so much more efficient than others?
Puig, Jaume; Pinilla, Jaime - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2008
This article investigates the main sources of heterogeneity in regional efficiency. We estimate a translog stochastic frontier production function in the analysis of Spanish regions in the period 1964-1996, to attempt to measure and explain changes in technical efficiency. Our results confirm...

Horizontal innovation in the theory of growth and development
Gancia, Gino; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 2005
We analyze recent contributions to growth theory based on the model of expanding variety of Romer (1990). In the first part, we present different versions of the benchmark linear model with imperfect competition. These include the “labequipment” model, labor-for-intermediates” and...

A Meta-Analysis of Beta-Convergence: The Legendary Two-Percent
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Institute - 2005
The topic of convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. Empirical studies of … convergence differ widely in their theoretical backgrounds, empirical specifications and in their treatment of cross …-sectional heterogeneity. Despite these differences, a rate of convergence of about 2% has been found under a variety of different conditions …

Impacts of Regional Growth on Farmland Development in the Northeast U.S.
Hailu, Yohannes; Brown, Cheryl - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
This study models the relationship between regional growth and agricultural land development in the Northeast United States. A system of simultaneous equations is estimated using three-stage-least squares on county-level data. Results indicate that regional growth puts upward pressure on...

Incubation Push or Business Pull? Investigating the Geography of US Business Incubators
Qian, Haifeng; Haynes, Kingsley - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2010
The primary purposes of this paper are to present the geographic distribution of US business incubators and to explore geographically bounded factors that influence the location of business incubators. Our data show that US business incubators are unevenly distributed across the urban/rural...
