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....

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...

The Impact of Knowledge Capital on Regional Total Factor Productivity

LeSage, James P. - 2015

This paper explores the contribution of knowledge capital to total factor productivity differences among regions within a regression framework. The dependent variable is total factor productivity, defined as output (in terms of gross value added) per unit of labour and physical capital combined,...

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 …
