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...

A meta-analysis of beta-convergence : the legendary two-percent
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2005
The topic of convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. Empirical studies of … convergence differ widely in their theoretical backgrounds, empirical specifications and in their treatment of cross …-sectional heterogeneity. Despite these differences, a rate of convergence of about 2% has been found under a variety of different conditions …

Spatial patterns of technology diffusion : an empirical analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Florax, Raymond J. … - 2004
In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

Productivity effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure : accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge
De Borger, Bruno L.; Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2019
Most studies of the effects of transport infrastructure on the performance of individual firms have focused on marginal expansions of the rail or highway network over time. In this paper, we study the short-run effects of a large discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz....

Regional convergence and agglomeration in Argentina : a spatial panel data approach
Madariaga, Nicole; Montout, Sylvie; Ollivaud, Patrice - HAL - 2005
This paper examines the per capita income convergence process among 23 Argentinian provinces over the period 1983 … conditional convergence process between Argentinian provinces and a positive and significant impact of agglomeration variables on … underestimates the speed of convergence specifically for provinces which are distant from Buenos Aires. Moreover, we improve …

Diversité et fragilité des associations en Europe
Archambault, Edith - HAL - 2012
Formant un modèle régional diversifié, les institutions sans but lucratif en Europe sont fragilisées par la crise économique et l'évolution libérale de la politique communautaire. Appauvries, transformées en sous-traitantes des programmes européens, leur innovation bridée, elles...

Le Mercosur peut-il devenir une zone monétaire optimale (ZMO) ?
Trotignon, Jérôme - HAL - 2001
La consistance du projet de monnaie unique du Mercosur dépend de la réalisation par l'Argentine et le Brésil des critères d'optimalité de la théorie des ZMO. L'approche exogène qui consiste à les évaluer avant la formation d'une union monétaire donne des résultats mitigés :...

Will we pay the same way? Empirical evidence of payment behaviours convergence on EMU panel data
Deungoue, Sandra - HAL - 2005
convergence of payment behaviours. We develop a model of conditional convergence concerning the use of five payment instruments …: cash, card, cheque, credit transfer, and direct debit. The tests of conditional convergence are carried out using the … techniques of instrumental variables on annual panel data in EMU. The results demonstrate that convergence occurs on demand for …
