Delivering Access to Safe Drinking Water and Adequate Sanitation in Pakistan
Khan, Faheem Jehangir; Javed, Yaser - East Asian Bureau of Economic Research (EABER) - 2007
Provision of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation and personal hygiene are vital for the sustainable environmental conditions and reducing the incidence of diarrhoea, malaria, trachoma, hepatitis A & B and morbidity levels. Not having access to water and sanitation is a courteous expression...

Growth, Convergence and Public Investment. A Bayesian Model Averaging Approach
Gonzalez, Roberto Leon; Estivill, Daniel Montolio - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2003
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we study the determinants of economic growth among a wide set of potential variables for the Spanish provinces (NUTS3). Among others, we include various types of private, public and human capital in the group of growth factors. Also, we analyse whether...

“Factor Accumulation, Externalities and Absorptive Capacity in Regional Growth: Evidence from Europe”
Jung, Juan; López-Bazo, Enrique - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2014
This paper proposes a model which incorporates capital accumulation and spatial spillovers across economies, while allowing for regional differences in absorptive abilities. This model is estimated using a sample of 215 European NUTS2 regions, before and after the 2004 enlargement of the...

The Impact of Regional Absorptive Capacity on Spatial Knowledge Spillovers
Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Instituut - 2008
This discussion paper led to an article in <I>Applied Economics</I> (2012). Volume 44, issue 11, pages 1363-1374.<P> 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...</p></i>

Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models
Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Instituut - 2003
Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

Regional Population-Employment Dynamics across Different Sectors of the Economy
Graaff, Thomas de; Oort, Frank G. van; Florax, Raymond … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2011
An important subset of the literature on agglomeration externalities hypothesizes thatintrasectoral and intersectoral relations are endogenously determined in models of localand regional economic growth. Remarkably, structural adjustment models describing thespatio-temporal dynamics of...

A Meta-Analysis of Beta-Convergence: The Legendary Two-Percent
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005
The topic of convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. Empirical studies of … convergence differ widely in their theoretical backgrounds, empirical specifications and in their treatment of cross …-sectional heterogeneity. Despite these differences, a rate of convergence of about 2% has been found under a variety of different conditions …

Growth, convergence and (why not?) regional externalities
Valcarce, Esther Vaya; Bazo, Enrique Lopez; Ortuno, … - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 1998
