The European countries : the role of services : special session SS33, Services and the Territory: Spatial Aspects and Problems of Service Activities

Cuadrado Roura, Juan R.; Maroto Sánchez, Andrés - 2010

The relationship between economic structure and productivity growth has been a subject of increasing interest over recent decades. The innovative focus of this paper concerns the role of the service sector in this relationship at a regional level. Services play a core role in advanced economies,...

Regional Income Convergence in the Enlarged Europe, 1995-2000: A Spatial Econometric Perspective

Fischer, Manfred M.; Stirböck, Claudia - 2004

This paper adopts a spatial econometric perspective to analyse regional convergence of per capita income in Europe in … with reality of empirical dynamics. The two-club spatial error convergence model with groupwise heteroskedasticity is found … data provide much support for unconditional ß-convergence in Europe. The second is that the usual convergence conclusions …

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...

Model Uncertainty in Matrix Exponential Spatial Growth Regression Models

Piribauer, Philipp; Fischer, Manfred M. - 2015

This paper considers the most important aspects of model uncertainty for spatial regression models, namely the appropriate spatial weight matrix to be employed and the appropriate explanatory variables. We focus on the spatial Durbin model (SDM) specification in this study that nests most models...

Spatial Externalities and Growth in a Mankiw-Romer-Weil World : Theory and Evidence

Fischer, Manfred M. - 2017

This paper presents a theoretical growth model that accounts for technological interdependence among regions in a Mankiw-Romer-Weil world. The reasoning behind the theoretical work is that technological ideas cannot be fully appropriated by investors and these ideas may diffuse and increase the...

Spatial Growth Regressions : Model Specification, Estimation and Interpretation

Lesage, James P. - 2007

This paper uses Bayesian model comparison methods to simultaneously specify both the spatial weight structure and explanatory variables for a spatial growth regression involving 255 NUTS 2 regions across 25 European countries. In addition, a correct interpretation of the spatial regression...

A Spatial Mankiw-Romer-Weil Model : Theory and Evidence

Fischer, Manfred M. - 2009

This paper presents a theoretical growth model that extends the Mankiw-Romer-Weil [MRW] model by accounting for technological interdependence among regional economies. Interdependence is assumed to work through spatial externalities caused by disembodied knowledge diffusion. The transition from...
