Spatial Patterns of Technology Diffusion: An Empirical Analysis using TFP

Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Institute - 2004

In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...
