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...

How Fast are the Tourism Countries Growing? The cross-country evidence

Brau, Rinaldo; Lanza, Alessandro; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2003

Specializing in tourism is an option available to a number of less developed countries and regions. But is it a good option? To answer this question, we have compared the relative growth performance of 14 "tourism countries" within a sample of 143 countries, observed during the period 1980-95....

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...

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...
