The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers
Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008
We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Is regional innovative activity path-dependent? : an empirical analysis for Germany
Bode, Eckhardt - 2001
Based on a standard idea-based model of endogenous growth we test the hypothesis that regional innovative activity is path-dependent, and investigate the geographical scope of knowledge spillovers. Using data for West-German regions, two alternative indicators of the stock of knowledge are...

Agglomeration and Growth : The Effects of Commuting Costs
Accetturo, Antonio - 2008
We present a model of industrial location and endogenous growth with congestion costs. According to the interplay between knowledge spillovers and commuting costs, we are able to obtain both a Krugman-type and a bell-shaped agglomeration outcome. In the first case, the economy experiences a...

Territorial capital and regional growth : increasing returns in cognitive knowledge use
Capello, Roberta; Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009
Knowledge drives the growth of nations and regions in a competitive space-economy. Hence, we would expect a strong correlation between investments in R&D, knowledge and learning processes, on the one hand, and productivity increases, on the other. However, the empirical evidence shows consistent...

Related variety, unrelated variety, and regional growth : the role of absorptive capacity and entrepreneurship
Fritsch, Michael; Kubliņa, Sandra - 2016
This paper investigates the effect of related and unrelated variety on regional growth in West Germany. In particular, we analyze the role of regional absorptive capacity and new business formation for these effects. We find that West German regions benefit from both types of varieties. The...

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,...

Agglomeration and Knowledge Diffusion
Bröcker, Johannes - 2004
According to New Growth Theory one can not rely on the convergence mechanisms inherent in traditional neoclassical … constant returns to scale models. Convergence as well as divergence is possible, in general, depending on the assumptions about … conditions divergence, convergence or a stable centre-periphery structure emerge. The model allows for different degrees of …

Global Corporate Income Tax Competition, Knowledge Spillover, and Growth
Maebayashi, Noritaka; Morimoto, Keiichi - 2022
In a two-country model of endogenous growth with international knowledge spillover, corporate income tax competition reproduces the second-best allocation attained by tax harmonization, despite complex externalities. This stems from the positive spillover effect across the border and free...
