Total factor productivity, intangible assets and spatial dependence in the European regions

Dettori, B.; Marrocu, E.; Paci, R. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2008

In the last decade there has been an upsurge of studies on international comparisons of Total Factor Productivity (TFP). The empirical evidence suggests that countries and regions differ not only in traditional factor endowments (labour and physical capital) but mainly in productivity and...

Externalities and local economic growth in manufacturing industries

Paci, R.; Usai, S. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2001

The growing interest on the economic geography issues has provided new vigour to the research efforts aiming at explaining economic phenomena without neglecting space. In particular several studies have focused on the role of spatially bounded externalities on firms agglomeration processes at...

Total Factor Productivity Growth and Employment: A Simultaneous Equations Model Estimate

Ladu, MG. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2005

This paper provides a structural estimation of the recent model proposed by Pissarides and Vallanti, a simplified equilibrium model which draws heavily on models with frictions and quasi-rents. The structural model is a system of three equations. The estimation method is a three-stage least...
