Convergence in Government Spending Components in EU15: A Spatial Econometric Perspective

Perović, Lena Maleševic; Golem, Silvia; Kosor, Maja … - In: Amfiteatru Economic Journal 18 (2016) 42, pp. 240-254

This paper contributes to the empirical literature on convergence by applying convergence model to components of …, we extend the traditional convergence model to allow for spatial correlation between countries in the sample, by … Education. More precisely, half-life convergence for Defence occurs in 6.37 years, for Health in 3.11 years and for Education in …

Regional Science in a time of uncertainty

Fingleton, Bernard - In: REGION 3 (2016) 2, pp. 61-69

I have given this paper the title 'Regional Science in a time of uncertainty' because that is what it appears to be, very much a time of uncertainty. Uncertainty is always with us, but what I mean is the future is more uncertain than usual. There are multiple unanticipated and threatening shocks...

General equilibrium long-run determinants for Spanish FDI: A spatial panel data approach

Martínez-Martín, Jaime - In: SERIEs - Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 2 (2011) 3, pp. 305-333

While general equilibrium theories of trade stress the role of third-country effects, little work has been done in the empirical foreign direct investment (FDI) literature to test such spatial linkages. This paper aims to provide further insights into long-run determinants of Spanish FDI by...

Measurement errors arising when using distances in microeconometric modelling and the individuals' position is geo-masked for confidentiality

Arbia, Giuseppa; Espa, Giuseppe; Giuliani, Diego - In: Econometrics 3 (2015) 4, pp. 709-718

In many microeconometric models we use distances. For instance, in modelling the individual behavior in labor economics or in health studies, the distance from a relevant point of interest (such as a hospital or a workplace) is often used as a predictor in a regression framework. However, in...

Testing for a structural break in a spatial panel model

Sengupta, Aparna - In: Econometrics 5 (2017) 1, pp. 1-17

We consider the problem of testing for a structural break in the spatial lag parameter in a panel model (spatial autoregressive). We propose a likelihood ratio test of the null hypothesis of no break against the alternative hypothesis of a single break. The limiting distribution of the test is...

Bayesian model averaging with the integrated nested laplace approximation

Gómez-Rubio, Virgilio; Bivand, Roger; Rue, Håvard - In: Econometrics 8 (2020) 2, pp. 1-15

The integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA) for Bayesian inference is an efficient approach to estimate the posterior marginal distributions of the parameters and latent effects of Bayesian hierarchical models that can be expressed as latent Gaussian Markov random fields (GMRF). The...

Hospital emergency room savings via health line S24 in Portugal

Simões, Paula; Gomes, Sérgio; Natário, Isabel - In: Econometrics 9 (2021) 1, pp. 1-10

Hospital emergency departments are often overused by patients that do not really need urgent care. These admissions are one of the major factors contributing to hospital costs, which should not be allowed to compromise the response and effectiveness of the National Health Services (SNS). The aim...
