Spatio-temporal Analysis of Regional Systems: A Multiregional Spatial Vector Autoregressive Model for Spain
RAMAJO, JULIAN; MARQUEZ, MIGUEL A.; HEWINGS, GEOFFREY J.D. - European Regional Science Association - 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...

Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models
Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2003
Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification 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...

Regional Population-Employment Dynamics across Different Sectors of the Economy
de Graaff, Thomas; van Oort, Frank G.; Florax, Raymond … - 2011
An important subset of the literature on agglomeration externalities hypothesizes thatintrasectoral and intersectoral relations are endogenously determined in models of localand regional economic growth. Remarkably, structural adjustment models describing thespatio-temporal dynamics of...

Efficiency-Adjusted Public Capital, Capital Grants, and Growth
Crivelli, Ernesto - 2017
Recent literature has explored the relationship between efficiency-adjusted public capital and economic growth. A debate on whether capital grants, and especially EU funds actually contribute to growth has gained prominence lately. This paper empirically assesses the relationship between the...

A retrospective study on the regional benefits and spillover effects of high-speed broadband networks : evidence from German counties
Briglauer, Wolfgang; Dürr, Niklas S.; Gugler, Klaus - 2019 - This version: May 2019
There is still hardly any empirical evidence on how divergent broadband technologies, and, by extension, bandwidth levels, influence GDP growth, or on the extent of spatial externalities at a regional level. Our study aims to assess the economic benefits of high-speed broadband networks within...

Theory and empirics of horizontal and spatial integration of local communal services
Czako, Katalin; Poreisz, Veronika - European Regional Science Association - 2013
There are three parts of our paper. Firstly, it gives an overview about the goals and factors which affect the integration of local communal services. Horizontal integration means joining the various individual service providers, such as water supply and sewage, communal waste, district heating,...

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