Knowledge flows, knowledge externalities and regional economic development

Karlsson, Charlie; Gråsjö, Urban - Institutionen för Industriell Ekonomi, Blekinge … - 2012

New knowledge generated by an economic agent in a region will tend over time to flow to other economic agents in the same region but also to economic agents in other regions. It is quite common in the literature to use the concept of knowledge spillovers for such knowledge flows, irrespective of...

Positive and Negative Agglomeration Externalities: Arbitration in the Pig Sector

Larue, Solène; Abildtrup, Jens; Schmitt, Bertrand - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 6 (2011) 2, pp. 167-183

Abstract In this study we analyse the determinants of pig production location in Denmark with a particular focus on positive and negative agglomeration externalities. Based on the theory of agglomeration and a discussion of the organization of the Danish pig production sector, a model of pig...

A Generalized Method of Moments Estimator for a Spatial Panel Model with an Endogenous Spatial Lag and Spatial Moving Average Errors

Fingleton, Bernard - In: Spatial Economic Analysis 3 (2008) 1, pp. 27-44

Abstract This paper proposes a new generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for spatial panel models with spatial moving average errors combined with a spatially autoregressive dependent variable. Monte Carlo results are given suggesting that the GMM estimator is consistent. The estimator...
