The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers

Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008

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 only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Territorial capital and regional growth : increasing returns in cognitive knowledge use

Capello, Roberta; Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009

Knowledge drives the growth of nations and regions in a competitive space-economy. Hence, we would expect a strong correlation between investments in R&D, knowledge and learning processes, on the one hand, and productivity increases, on the other. However, the empirical evidence shows consistent...

Agglomeration, innovation and regional development : theoretical perspectives and meta-analysis

Groot, Henri L. F. de; Poot, Jacques; Smit, Martijn J. - 2007

Innovation and technological change are central to the quest for regional development. In the globally-connected knowledge-driven economy, the relevance of agglomeration forces that rely on proximity continues to increase, paradoxically despite declining real costs of information, communication...

Agglomeration externalities and localized employment growth

Vor, Friso de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2008

This paper addresses the question to what extent the performance of industrial sites is affected by their local economic structure and accessibility. For this aim, we test for the existence of statistically significant relationships between agglomeration externalities (specialization, diversity,...

Estimating road transport costs between EU regions

Persyn, Damiaan; Díaz-Lanchas, Jorge; Barbero, Javier - 2019

Transport costs are a crucial element of any spatial economic model. Surprisingly, good transport cost estimates at a detailed spatial level for the EU are not readily available. In this paper we address this issue by estimating a novel dataset of road freight transport costs for goods for the...

The determinants and dynamics of regional convergence in the EU

Arvanitopoulos, Theodoros; Lazarou, Nicholas-Joseph - 2023

In this study, we employ the pairwise stochastic convergence approach to identify the pairs of NUTS2 regions for all 28 … stochastic convergence trajectories to assess the role of first nature geography, which is defined by variations in physical …, in causing economic growth convergence patterns. We find that western and northern parts of Europe have higher pairwise …

The impact of Cohesion Policy 2007-2015 in EU regions : simulations with the RHOMOLO Interregional Dynamic General Equilibrium Model

Di Comite, Francesco; Lecca, Patrizio; Monfort, Philippe; … - 2018

In this paper we assess the system-wide economic impact of the key financial instruments adopted by the European Union for the implementation of the regional policy: The Structural funds and The Cohesion Funds. We take a bottom-up approach by aggregating the 86 categories of expenditures defined...
