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...

The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …

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...

A Two-Sector Model of Creative Capital Driven Regional Economic Growth
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2018
We study aspects of economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. We model creativity by supposing that the region under study has two sectors. The first sector uses physical capital {K(t)} and trained workers {A(t)W(t)} to produce creative capital {R(t)}. The...
