Regional economic growth and SMEs in Brazil : a spatial analysis
Cravo, Túlio - 2010
This paper examines the relationship between economic growth and the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) sector for a panel of 503 Brazilian micro-regions for the period 1980-2004 using panel spatial econometrics. It investigates the importance of the SME sector size measured by the share of the...

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...

Interregional spillovers and urban-rural disparity in U.S. employment growth
Saito, Hisamitsu; Gopinath, Munisamy; Wu, JunJie - 2010
A wide urban-rural disparity is observed in employment growth in the United States. For example, employment growth averaged 2.1 percent in urban counties during 1998-2007, compared with just 1 percent in rural counties. In this study, we examine the sources of U.S. employment growth using the...

What can the EMU's peripheral countries learn from regional growth?
Aiginger, Karl; Firgo, Matthias; Huber, Peter - 2013
The experiences of 259 regions in 21 European countries with within country GDP per capita and labour productivity growth suggest that variables associated with pro-active, growth oriented strategies are consistently more important predictors of successful regional development than variables...

Is there convergence of Russia's regions? : exploring the empirical evidence : 1995-2010
Lehmann, Hartmut; Silvagni, Maria Giulia - 2013
This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995 …-2010, when regional data are available. Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we … regional product confirm this outcome as do non-parametric estimates of convergence, namely estimates using Markov transition …

In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from … model to analyze the regional convergence process in the Russian case. We also take into account possible spatial effects … and do a series of other robustness checks. Our main estimates establish a convergence rate of around 2% per year. While …
