Productivity Dynamics across European Regions: the Impact of Structural and Cohesion Funds
Fiaschi, Davide; Lavezzi, Andrea Mario; Parenti, Angela - Dipartimento di Economia e Management, Università … - 2009
This paper analyzes the impact of the European Union regional policy of the three programming periods 1975-1988, 1989-1993 and 1994-1999 on the dynamics of productivity of European regions. On average, funding had a positive, but concave, effect on productivity growth. In particular, a share of...

The Determinants of Distribution Dynamics: A Novel Methodology with an Application to the Cross-Country Distribution of Productivity Preliminary version. Please do not quote withou...
Fiaschi, Davide; Parenti, Angela - Institut for Miljø og Erhvervsøkonomi, Syddansk … - 2010
In this paper we present a novel methodology for estimating the determinants of distribution dynamics and discuss an application to the distribution dynamics of (labour) productivity across a large sample of countries. We perform a Monte Carlo study of methodology taking as base Mankiw et al....

Structural change, productivity growth and Structural Funds in European regions
Pontarollo, Nicola - European Regional Science Association - 2013
A key factor for a stable and solid development is the gain in labor productivity. The regions that manage to pull out of poverty and improve the living standards of their inhabitants, in fact, need to be able to diversify away from agriculture and other traditional sectors. In doing this, the...

Model uncertainty in matrix exponential spatial growth regression models
Fischer, Manfred M.; Piribauer, Philipp - Vienna University of Economics and Business, Department … - 2013
This paper considers the problem of model uncertainty associated with variable selection and specification of the spatial weight matrix in spatial growth regression models in general and growth regression models based on the matrix exponential spatial specification in particular. A natural...
