Estimating road transport costs between EU regions

Persyn, Damiaan; Díaz-Lanchas, Jorge; Barbero, Javier - 2019

Transport costs are a crucial element of any spatial economic model. Surprisingly, good transport cost estimates at a detailed spatial level for the EU are not readily available. In this paper we address this issue by estimating a novel dataset of road freight transport costs for goods for the...

Are EU regions ready to tackle climate change?

Cappellano, Francesco; Marques Santos, Anabela; Dotti, … - 2023

This paper provides quantitative evidence on the geography of regional readiness to tackle climate change using data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Following Cappellano et al. (2022), we estimate a composite indicator that reports the situation of regions in these countries...

Heterogeneous firms, R&D policies and the long shadow of business cycles

Benedetti-Fasil, Cristiana; Impullitti, Giammario; … - 2021

Growth and business cycles have a long tradition of being studied separately. However, events such as the Great Recession raise concerns that severe downturns may have detrimental implications for growth. If so, what policies may help alleviate such long-lasting effects of large recessions? To...

Upward pressure on wages and the interregional trade spillover effects under demand-side shocks

Lecca, Patrizio; Christensen, Martin; Conte, Andrea; … - 2019

The paper illustrates the effect of a permanent demand-side shock in the perturbed regions and the associated spillover effects in the non-perturbed regions using the RHOMOLO spatial-numerical general equilibrium model of the EU economy. We test to what extent gradual upward pressure on wages...

Does decentralization of governance promote urban diversity? : evidence from Spain

Diaz-Lanchas, Jorge; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Mulder, Peter - 2019

The worldwide trend to decentralize the responsibilities and budgets of governments impacts local firm dynamics in various ways. We use the example of Spain to test empirically whether the decentralization of governance has been conducive to increased diversification and a more even city-size...

How institutions shape the economic returns of public investment in European regions

Àlvarez Ayuso, Inmaculada; Barbero, Javier; Orea, Luis; … - 2023

In this paper, we examine the impact of institutional quality on the returns on key drivers of economic growth in 230 European Union (EU) NUTS-2 regions from 2009 to 2017. To estimate region-specific elasticities, we employ a latent class modelling approach, considering the quality of government...

Measuring subnational economic complexity : an application with Spanish data

Pérez-Balsalobre, Santiago; Llano Verduras, Carlos; … - 2019

Economic complexity indicators provide a better understanding of the long-term determinants of countries' economic growth. However, they do not account for intra-national spatial heterogeneity, even when regions, and not only countries, differ tremendously in their productivity. This paper tries...
