Innovation, decentralization, and planning in a multi-region model of Schumpeterian economic growth
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014
We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...

Hirte, Georg (contributor); Brunow, Stephan (contributor) - 2008
We explore the impact of the age structure of human capital on average regional productivity by applying a spatial econometric analysis based on an augmented Lucas-type production function. We also apply a new definition of regional human capital focusing on its availability. The estimates...

Rich man's war, poor man's fight? : socioeconomic representativeness in the modern military
Asoni, Andrea; Sanandaji, Tino - 2013
