Technology, learning, and long run economic growth in leading and lagging regions
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014
We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

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 five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...

Digital Urban Network Connectivity : Global and Chinese Internet Patterns
Tranos, Emmanouil - 2015
The majority of cities in our world is not only connected through conventional physical infrastructure, but increasingly through modern digital infrastructure. This paper aims to test whether digital connectivity leads to other linkage patterns among world cities than traditional infrastructure....

Growth effects of fiscal policies : a comparative analysis in a multi-country context
Brons, Martijn; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Nijkamp, Peter - 1999
The potential interactions among fiscal policies, investments and economicgrowth are complex and manifold.In this paper, we will perform a systematic comparative analysis of the variouseconomic insights that arecurrently available on these complex relationships, both theoretically (by aselective...

The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …

Human Capital Use, Innovation, Patent Protection, and Economic Growth in Multiple Regions
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2012
We provide what to the best of our knowledge is the first theoretical analysis of the total effects of human capital use, innovative activity, and patent protection, on economic growth in a model with many regions. In each region, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there...

Cognitive Capital and Islands of Innovation : The Lucas Growth Model from a Regional Perspective
Caragliu, Andrea - 2014
Knowledge triggers regional growth. Evidence suggests that skilled labor force concentrates in islands of innovation, determining an advantage for innovative regions and a challenge for lagging ones. We address the role of knowledge in shaping effective markets for skilled labor. Estimates are...
