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...

A meta-analysis of beta-convergence : the legendary two-percent

Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 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 …

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,...

Quasi-experimental methods in empirical regional science and policy analysis : is there a scope for application?

Mitze, Timo; Paloyo, Alfredo R.; Alecke, Björn - 2012

Applied econometrics has recently emphasized the identification of causal parameters for policy analysis. This revolution has yet to fully propagate to the field of regional science. We examine the scope for application of the matching approach – part of the modern applied econometrics toolkit...

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...

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...
