The Spatial Distribution of Economic Activities in Italy
Dominicis, Laura de; Arbia, Giuseppe; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Instituut - 2007
Existing indices measuring the spatial distribution of economic activity such as the Krugman Specialisation Index, the Hirschmann-Herfindahl index and the Ellison-Glaeser index typically do not take into account the spatial structure of the data. In this paper, we first consider traditional...

The Impact of Effect Size Heterogeneity on Meta-Analysis: A Monte Carlo Experiment
Koetse, Mark J.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Groot, Henri … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2007
In this paper we use Monte Carlo simulation to investigate the impact of effect size heterogeneity on the results of a … effects meta-estimators under three alternative scenarios of effect size heterogeneity. We distinguish heterogeneity in effect … size variance, heterogeneity due to a varying true underlying effect across primary studies, and heterogeneity due to a non …

Correcting for Primary Study Misspecifications in Meta-Analysis
Koetse, Mark J.; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Groot, Henri … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005
In non-experimental sciences the errors associated with model misspecifications in primarystudies carry over to meta-analysis. We use Monte Carlo simulations to analyse the effects ofthese misspecifications on results of a meta-analysis using a meta-estimator that calculates asimple average...

Trust and Economic Growth
Beugelsdijk, Sjoerd; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Schaik, … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2002
Economists increasingly pay attention to social capital as an important determinant of macroeconomic growth performance. At the same time, there is discussion regarding the robustness of the results of empirical growth studies. In a seminal paper, Knack and Keefer (1997) assess the effect of...
