Output, Growth, and Convergence in a Creative Region : An Analysis of Some Measurement Issues

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2017

creative regions. We focus first (second) on absolute (relative) convergence. In the absolute (relative) convergence case, the … convergence case, we analyze how to estimate the speed of convergence parameter (σ) and then discuss the relationship between the … variance of y<sub>j</sub>(t) and that of y<sub>j</sub>(0). In the relative convergence case, we study the error associated with …

Creative Capital, Information and Communication Technologies, and Economic Growth in Smart Cities

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2018

We study aspects of economic growth in a stylized smart city with two distinct features. First, the modeled inhabitants of this city are smart because they possess skills. Using the language of Richard Florida, these inhabitants comprise the city's creative class and hence they possess creative...

Innovation Driven Economic Growth in Multiple Regions and Taxation : A Dynamic Analysis

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2015

We provide the first theoretical analysis of the effects of alternate forms of taxation on economic growth in a dynamic model with multiple regions. The regions are heterogeneous but, in each region, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there is no growth in the stock of...

Digital Technologies, Knowledge Spillovers, Innovation Policies, and Economic Growth in a Creative Region

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2015

We theoretically study the impact of two innovation policies on economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida and that uses digital technologies to produce a final consumption good. The use of these digital technologies in our creative region gives rise to...

On Research and Development in a Model of Schumpeterian Economic Growth in a Creative Region

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2016

We analyze the nature of research and development (R&D) that leads to Schumpeterian economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. The engine of economic growth in our creative region is process innovations that lead to quality improvements in the machines that are...

The Effects of Probabilistic Innovations on Schumpeterian Economic Growth in a Creative Region

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Beladi, Hamid - 2015

We analyze the impact that stochastically occurring innovations have on Schumpeterian economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. Our analysis leads to four findings. First, we delineate the so called balanced growth path (BGP) equilibrium and then compute the...

Innovation, Decentralization, and Planning in a Multi-Region Model of Schumpeterian Economic Growth

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014

We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to six findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...
