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 …

Agglomeration, innovation and regional development : theoretical perspectives and meta-analysis
Groot, Henri L. F. de; Poot, Jacques; Smit, Martijn J. - 2007
Innovation and technological change are central to the quest for regional development. In the globally-connected knowledge-driven economy, the relevance of agglomeration forces that rely on proximity continues to increase, paradoxically despite declining real costs of information, communication...

Agglomeration externalities and localized employment growth
Vor, Friso de; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2008
This paper addresses the question to what extent the performance of industrial sites is affected by their local economic structure and accessibility. For this aim, we test for the existence of statistically significant relationships between agglomeration externalities (specialization, diversity,...

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...

Decoupling economic growth and energy use : an empirical cross-country analysis for 10 manufacturing sectors
Mulder, Peter; Groot, Henri L. F. de - 2004
This paper provides an empirical analysis of decoupling economic growth and energy use and its various determinants by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity across 10 manufacturing sectors and 14 OECD countries for the period 1970-1997. We explicitly aim to trace back aggregate...

Determinants of regional productivity growth in Europe : an empirical analysis
Bulavskaya, Tatyana; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Linders, … - 2011
Discussion on the possibilities for and barriers to income convergence and catch-up growth is at the heart of the … catch-up. Both convergence and divergence of productivity across regions are possible. Results show that all considered …
