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...

Spatial Patterns of Technology Diffusion: An Empirical Analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - 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...

Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Convergence
Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2004
This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level … for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970-1997. A fã-convergence analysis shows that the development of cross …-country variation in productivity performance depends on the level of aggregation. Both patterns of convergence as well as divergence …

International Comparisons of Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Performance: Stylised Facts and Decomposition of Trends
Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2004
This paper addresses the interplay between economic growth, energy use, change in sectoral composition and technological change, by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity development for 14 OECD countries and four sectors over the period 1970-1997. A cross-country decomposition...

The Regional Impact of Monetary Policy in Indonesia
Ridhwan, Masagus M.; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Rietveld, Piet; … - 2011
This paper employs Vector Autoregression (VAR) models to measure the impact of monetary policy shocks on regional output in Indonesia. Having incorporated a possible structural break following the aftermath of the 1997-98 Asian Crisis, the impulse response functions derived from the estimated...
