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...

long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. 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 …
