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...

A Meta-Analysis of Beta-Convergence: The Legendary Two-Percent
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Instituut - 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 …

Spatial patterns of technology diffusion : an empirical analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2004
In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

Productivity effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure : accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge
De Borger, Bruno L.; Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2019
Most studies of the effects of transport infrastructure on the performance of individual firms have focused on marginal expansions of the rail or highway network over time. In this paper, we study the short-run effects of a large discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz....
