Growth dynamics in regional systems of technological activities : a SVAR approach

Duschl, Matthias; Brenner, Thomas - 2013

This paper analyses the causal relationships in regional technological systems within a structural vector autoregression (SVAR) framework. Applying a data-driven identification strategy based on Independent Component Analysis, it shows how the regional growth dynamics of economic, research,...

Convergence and the effects of spatial interaction

Niebuhr, Annekatrin - 2000

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of income convergence has received considerable attention in economic … scarce. The present paper is an attempt to provide additional information on the spatial aspect of convergence. Spatial … econometric methods are used to investigate regional convergence in West Germany. The results indicate that spatial interaction is …

Threshold effects and regional economic growth e Evidence from West Germany

Funke, Michael; Niebuhr, Annekatrin - 2002

We study an overlapping generations model of human capital accumulation with threshold effects using regional data for West Germany. Our basic goal is to shed light on what makes German regions grow. The paper finds that the relative income distribution appears to be stratifying into a trimodal...

More publicly funded research, more knowledge spillovers, more economic growth? : an empirical analysis for German regions

Eberle, Jonathan; Brenner, Thomas; Mitze, Timo - 2018

This paper deals with the effects of publicly funded research on regional technological progress and economic growth. We adopt a system approach and investigate the effects on all regional input factors and output by means of a flexible spatial panel VAR (SpPVAR) model. This allows us to deal...

Analysing the spatio-temporal diffusion of economic change - advanced statistical approach and exemplary application

Wardenburg, Sven; Brenner, Thomas - 2021

This article presents a spatio-temporal panel vector-autoregressive approach (SptpVAR) as an extended spatial econometric method for analysing spillover effects of regional economic change in time and space. The approach aims to extend the spatial dimension of SpVAR models by capturing the...
