Decentralization, social capital and regional convergence
Mauro, Luciano; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2013
By studying the interaction between social capital and decentralization, we show that political decentralization can be a source of divergence across heterogeneous regions. In particular, we claim that since the local endowments of social capital display their effect on the economy mainly...

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,...

Spatial patterns of technology diffusion : an empirical analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2004
In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

Technological diffusion, spatial spillovers and regional convergence in Europe
Paci, Raffaele; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2001
convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …

Decoupling economic growth and energy use : an empirical cross-country analysis for 10 manufacturing sectors
Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2004
This paper provides an empirical analysis of decoupling economic growth and energy use and its various determinants by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity across 10 manufacturing sectors and 14 OECD countries for the period 1970-1997. We explicitly aim to trace back aggregate...
