What can the EMU's peripheral countries learn from regional growth?
Aiginger, Karl; Firgo, Matthias; Huber, Peter - 2013
The experiences of 259 regions in 21 European countries with within country GDP per capita and labour productivity growth suggest that variables associated with pro-active, growth oriented strategies are consistently more important predictors of successful regional development than variables...

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...

We find that convergence processes in currency unions are extremely … question the focus of the traditional literature on average (beta-)convergence and suggest substantial non-linearities in …

Market Potential and Border Effects in Europe
Pfaffermayr, Michael; Huber, Peter; Wolfmayr, Yvonne - 2004
We estimate a linear approximation of the market potential function derived in geography and trade models. Using a spatial econometric estimation approach, border effects can be identified by a differential impact of neighboring regions' purchasing power, depending on whether two regions are...

Technological diffusion, spatial spillovers and regional convergence in Europe
Paci, Raffaele; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2001
convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …
