Spatial Clustering, Inequality and Income Convergence
Janikas, Mark V.; Rey, Sergio J. - EconWPA - 2005
This paper examines the relationship between spatial clustering and inequality at the county scale with overall state per capita income in the U.S. over the period 1969-2000. For each of the 48 coterminous states we examine measures of inequality and spatial clustering and explore how a state's...

SPACE-TIME LAGS: SPECIFICATION STRATEGY IN SPATIAL REGRESSION MODELS
Hernández, Fernando A. López; Yrigoyen, Coro Chasco - EconWPA - 2004
he purpose of this article is to analyse the dynamic trend of spatial dependence, which is not only contemporary but time-lagged in many socio-economic phenomena. Firstly, we show some of the commonly used exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) techniques and we propose other new ones, the...

Generalized Moments Estimation for Spatial Panel Data: Indonesian Rice Farming
Druska, Viliam; Horrace, William C. - EconWPA - 2002
We consider estimation of a panel data model where disturbances are spatially correlated in the cross … parameters may be consistently estimated. When the time dimension is small (the usual panel data case), we develop an estimator … to a panel of Indonesian rice farms where spatial correlations represent productivity shock spillovers, based on …

Sigma-convergence in the presence of spatial effects
Rey, Sergio J.; Dev, Boris - EconWPA - 2004
This paper explores the implications that spatial effects can hold for the application of measures of sigma-convergence. The bias of a common indicator of convergence is examined for a family of spatial process models including: [a] spatial lag, [b] spatial error, and [c] spatial moving average....

Does Foreign Direct Investment Transfer Technology Across Borders? A Reexamination
Bitzer, Jürgen; Kerekes, Monika - EconWPA - 2005
Reexamining foreign direct investment (FDI) as a potential channel for knowledge diffusion -- based on industry data from seventeen OECD countries during the period 1973-2000 -- we find that FDI-receiving countries benefit strongly from FDI-related knowledge spillovers. We do not find evidence...
