European regional convergence in a human capital augmented Solow model
Eckey, Hans-Friedrich (contributor);  … - 2006
In this paper, the process of productivity convergence is investigated for the enlarged European Union using regional … control for spatial effects. All specifications confirm the presence of convergence with an annual speed between 3 and 3 … in the speed of convergence across the regions, where a higher speed is striking in particular in France and the UK …

Regional bank efficiency and its effect on regional growth in “normal” and “bad” times
Belke, Ansgar; Haskamp, Ulrich; Setzer, Ralph - 2015
The financial crisis affected regions in Europe in a different magnitude. This is why we examine whether regions which incorporate banks with a higher intermediation quality grow faster in “normal” times and are more resilient in “bad” ones. For this purpose, we measure the...

Regional measures of human capital in the European Union
Dreger, Christian (contributor); Erber, Georg (contributor);  … - 2009
The accumulation of the human capital stock plays a key role to explain the macroeconomic performance across regions. However, despite the strong theoretical support for this claim, empirical evidence has been not very convincing, probably because of the low quality of the data. This paper...

Bank Efficiency and Regional Growth in Europe : New Evidence from Micro-Data
Belke, Ansgar Hubertus - 2017
This paper examines whether European regions which incorporate banks with a higher intermediation quality grow faster and are more resilient to negative shocks than its less efficient peers. For this purpose, we measure a bank's intermediation quality by estimating its profit and cost efficiency...

Regional measures of human capital in the European Union
Dreger, Christian; Erber, Georg; Glocker, Daniela - 2010
The accumulation of the human capital stock plays a key role to explain the economic performance across regions. However, empirical evidence for this claim has been not very convincing, probably due to low quality of the data. This paper provides a robustness analysis of alternative human...

Does Euro Area Membership Affect the Relation between GDP Growth and Public Debt?
Dreger, Christian - 2012
We analyse the relationship between the debt to GDP ratio and real per capita GDP growth for the euro area members by distinguishing between periods of sustainable and non-sustainable debt. Thresholds are theory-based and depend on the macroeconomic framework. If the interest rate exceeds...

The different extent of privatisation proceeds in EU countries : a Ppreliminary explanation using a public choice approach
Belke, Ansgar; Baumgärtner, Frank; Schneider, Friedrich; … - 2006
This paper empirically investigates the differences in the motives of raising privatisation proceeds for a panel of EU countries from 1990 to 2000. More specifically, we test whether privatisations can be mainly interpreted (a) as ingredients of a larger reform package of economic liberalisation...

This paper explores the long run relationship between public and private investment in the euro area in terms of capital stocks and gross investment flows. Panel techniques accounting for international spillovers are employed. While private and public capital stocks are cointegrated, the...
