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...

Smile-and-go : regional performance through global value chains in Europe
Capello, Roberta; Dellisanti, Roberto - In: Papers in regional science : the journal of the … 103 (2024) 2, pp. 1-10
By applying the smile curve concept to regional value added growth rather than to levels, the paper claims that local value-added growth increases when a region is specialised in scarce natural resources or scarce human skills within a GVC. Under these circumstances, in fact, the region can...

Technology, learning, and long run economic growth in leading and lagging regions
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014
We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

Innovation, decentralization, and planning in a multi-region model of Schumpeterian economic growth
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014
We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...

Knowledge, innovation and economic growth : spatial heterogeneity in Europe
Capello, Roberta; Lenzi, Camilla - 2012
In this paper, we aim at re-assessing the undisputed positive relationship between innovation and economic growth by questioning the view that R&D (and formal knowledge in general) equates innovation and innovation equates regional growth. We rather propose that these linkages are strongly...

The Impact of Neutral and Nonneutral Productivity Growth on Creative Capital in a Trading Regional Economy
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2011
We analyze a two-sector model of a trading creative regional economy (TCRE) of the sort studied by Florida. Our analysis focuses on two cases. The first (second) case concerns the impact of faster neutral (non-neutral) productivity growth in the tradable sector on the employment of creative...

Output, Growth, and Convergence in a Creative Region : An Analysis of Some Measurement Issues
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2017
creative regions. We focus first (second) on absolute (relative) convergence. In the absolute (relative) convergence case, the … convergence case, we analyze how to estimate the speed of convergence parameter (σ) and then discuss the relationship between the … variance of y<sub>j</sub>(t) and that of y<sub>j</sub>(0). In the relative convergence case, we study the error associated with …

Schumpeterian Creative Class Competition, Innovation Policy, and Regional Economic Growth
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2018
We focus on a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. The creative class is broadly composed of existing and candidate entrepreneurs. The general question we analyze concerns the effects of Schumpeterian competition between existing and candidate entrepreneurs on economic growth...
