This paper studies the link between knowledge, innovation and growth in European regions using nonparametric methods. Our findings suggest that knowledge inputs and the share of innovative firms have a heterogeneous and nonlinear relationship with growth. This evidence has been exploited to...

This paper deals with the relationship between knowledge, innovation and regional growth. The study is carried out through the application of nonparametric estimation methods to European data at NUTS2 level. We provide evidence that the share of innovative ...firms plays a more relevant role in...

This paper incorporates technological interdependence into a neoclassical regional growth framework with imperfect factor mobility, leading to a convergence equation with spatial effects. The empirical analysis is based on the estimation of a spatial Durbin panel data model and the...

This article empirically assesses the validity of alternative growth models at regional level. This is done by comparing the stochastic properties of physical capital investment and growth using a panel unit root test statistic that is robust to cross-sectional dependence of a spatial nature....
