The European Regional Convergence Process, 1980-1995: Do Spatial Regimes and Spatial Dependence Matter?

Baumont, Catherine; Ertur, Cem; Gallo, Julie Le - EconWPA - 2002

We show in this paper that spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity matter in the estimation of the b-convergence process among 138 European regions over the 1980-1995 period. Using spatial econometrics tools, we detect both spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the form of...

REGIONAL CONVERGENCE AND THE IMPACT OF EUROPEAN STRUCTURAL FUNDS OVER 1989-1999: A SPATIAL ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Dall'erba, Sandy; Gallo, Julie Le - EconWPA - 2003

This paper estimates the impact of structural funds on the convergence process between 145 European regions over 1989-1999. Since the majority of these funds finance transportation infrastructures, they induce spillover effects, industry relocation and do not necessarily succeed in reducing...

Specification Searches in Spatial Econometrics: The Relevance of Hendry's Methodology

Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Folmer, Hendrik; Rey, Sergio J. - EconWPA - 2002

This paper brings together a number of new specification search strategies in spatial econometric modeling. In the literature, experimental results for several forward stepwise strategies aimed at remedying spatial dependence, have been reported. Essentially, these strategies boil down to the...

Is the Structure of Happiness Equations the Same in Poor and Rich Countries? The Case of South Africa.

Powdthavee, Nattavudh - EconWPA - 2003

Are happiness patterns structurally the same when comparing poor and rich countries? Using cross-sectional data from the SALDRU93 survey, we show that the relationships between subjective well-being and socioeconomic variables have a similar structure and is U-shaped in age in South Africa as in...
