Entrepreneurship and Local Growth - a comparison of the U.S. and Sweden
Borgman, Benny; Braunerhjelm, Pontus - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2007
The U.S. is traditionally viewed as an economy driven by entrepreneurs, whereas the Swedish model is associated with high welfare ambitions and less focus on entrepreneurial activities. This paper seeks to empirically investigate whether the connection between entrepreneurship and growth at the...

Knowledge flows, knowledge externalities and regional economic development
Karlsson, Charlie; Gråsjö, Urban - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2012
New knowledge generated by an economic agent in a region will tend over time to flow to other economic agents in the same region but also to economic agents in other regions. It is quite common in the literature to use the concept of knowledge spillovers for such knowledge flows, irrespective of...

LABOR MOBILITY, KNOWLEDGE DIFFUSION AND REGIONAL GROWTH
Thulin, Per - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2009
This paper investigates the relationship between inter-firm labor mobility and regional productivity growth. Previous studies have shown that density is positively correlated with growth. I claim that it is not density in itself, but rather the attributes associated with it that drives economic...

Regional Effects of Federal Tax Shocks
Hayo, Bernd; Uhl, Matthias - Volkswirtschaft Abteilung, Fachbereich … - 2012
This paper studies regional output asymmetries following U.S. federal tax shocks. We estimate a vector autoregressive model for each U.S. state, utilizing the exogenous tax shock series recently proposed by Romer and Romer (2010) and find considerable variations: estimated output multipliers lie...

The Analysis of Location, Co-location and Urbanisation Economics
Johansson, Börje; Forslund, Ulla - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2005
Using the taxonomy by Anselin (2003), this paper investigates how the inclusion of spatially discounted variables on the ‘right-hand-side’ (RHS) in empirical spatial models affects the extent of spatial autocorrelation. The basic proposition is that the inclusion of inputs external to the...

Testing for convergence from the micro-level
Fazio, Giorgio; Piacentino, Davide - Department of Economics, Adam Smith Business School - 2011
In the growth literature, researchers are typically concerned with macro convergence. However, to the extent that macro … dynamics result from the underlying microeconomic relations, convergence should also be investigated at the micro-level. In … this paper, we suggest an approach that allows exploiting large micro panels to test for convergence. Compared to the …
