Regional economic convergence and spatial spillovers in Turkey
Kındap, Ahmet; Doğan, Tayyar - In: International econometric review 11 (2019) 1, pp. 1-23
Using sigma and beta convergence methods, this study tests economic convergence in Turkish NUTS-2 regions between 2004 …-2011. The findings of sigma convergence analysis show that the interregional income gap decreases during economic recession … periods and increases during economic expansion periods. The beta convergence results obtained by the cross-sectional and …

The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers
Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 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...

Is regional innovative activity path-dependent? : an empirical analysis for Germany
Bode, Eckhardt - 2001
Based on a standard idea-based model of endogenous growth we test the hypothesis that regional innovative activity is path-dependent, and investigate the geographical scope of knowledge spillovers. Using data for West-German regions, two alternative indicators of the stock of knowledge are...

Growth spillovers in the MENA region
Baysoy, Merve Aksoylar; Altuğ, Sumru - 2019
In this paper, we examine the role of spillovers in economic growth for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by accounting for spatial effects. Such spatial effects in growth for the MENA countries may arise on the basis of geography, bilateral trade or institutional similarities. We...

Spatio-temporal analysis of regional systems : a multiregional spatial vector autoregressive model for Spain
Ramajo Hernández, Julián; Márquez, Miguel A.; … - 2013
This paper contributes to the recent literature in spatial econometrics that focuses on space-time data modeling implementing a multi-location time-series statistical framework to analyze a regional system. Therefore, taking as a point of departure the Global Vector Autoregression approach...
