Schumpeterian growth with technological interdependence : an application to US states
Deeken, Tim - 2015
In this paper, the Schumpeterian growth model developed by Ertur and Koch (2011) that includes spatial interactions between units of observation working via R&D spillovers is presented in detail. The implications of this model and three additional growth models with and without spatial...

Sectoral diversification as insurance against economic instability
Kluge, Jan - 2015
This paper examines the extent to which sectoral diversification can act as an insurance mechanism against fluctuations in regional gross value added growth rates. I apply portfolio theory to the growth-instability properties of German districts. Furthermore, I define a comprehensive...

Cross-sectional space-time modeling using ARNN(p, n) processes
Kakamu, Kazuhiko; Polasek, Wolfgang - 2007
We suggest a new class of cross-sectional space-time models based on local AR models and nearest neighbors using distances between observations. For the estimation we use a tightness prior for prediction of regional GDP forecasts. We extend the model to the model with exogenous variable model...

Interpretation of structural parameters for models with spatial autoregression
Pietrzak, Michał Bernard - 2013
The main purpose of the article is to consider a important issue of spatial econometrics which is a proper interpretation of structural parameters of econometric models with spatial autoregression. The problem will be considered based on the example of the spatial SAR model. Another purpose of...

Is spatial bootstrapping a panacea for valid inference?
Klarl, Torben - 2013
Bootstrapping methods have so far been rarely used to evaluate spatial data sets. Based on an extensive Monte Carlo study we find that also for spatial, cross-sectional data, the wild bootstrap test proposed by Davidson and Flachaire (2008) based on restricted residuals clearly outperforms...

Economic growth and convergence during the transition to production using automation capital
Dujava, Daniel; Lábaj, Martin - 2019
industrial robots replace low-skilled labour. We show that this has potential non-linear effects on σ-convergence and that the …

South-North convergence from a new perspective
Hübler, Michael - 2013
-North convergence based on North-South technology diffusion through intermediate goods trade is guaranteed if the knowledge effect … dominates the productivity effect. Moreover, a larger Southern market expands the area of convergence and can prevent divergence … convergence is desirable for both, the South and the North. …

Regional convergence in the European Union (1985 - 1999): A spatial dynamic panel analysis
Badinger, Harald; Müller, Werner G.; Tondl, Gabriele - 2002
We estimate the speed of income convergence for a sample of 196 European NUTS 2 regions over the period 1985-1999. So … convergence of 6.9 per cent and a capital elasticity of 0.43. …
