The Effect of Migration on Income Growth and Convergence: Meta-Analytic Evidence

Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2009

long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …

Technology, Learning, and Long Run Economic Growth in Leading and Lagging Regions

Batabyal, Amit; Nijkamp, Peter - European Regional Science Association - 2014

We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

Innovation, Decentralization, and Planning in a Multi-Region Model of Schumpeterian Economic Growth

Batabyal, Amit; Nijkamp, Peter - European Regional Science Association - 2014

We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...
