Urban Public Transportation and Firm Location Choice Evidence from the Regional Express Rail of Paris Metropolitan area
Trevien, Corentin; Mayer, Thierry - European Regional Science Association - 2013
This paper identifies the causal impact of urban rail transport on firm location. The evaluation of transport infrastructures always faces an important issue of endogeneity since rail lines are not randomly located. We use the natural experiment offered by the Regional Express Rail (RER) in the...

The Role of Transport Infrastructures in determining Technical Efficiency in R&D activity of Italian regions. A double-bootstrapped DEA procedure
Capozza, Claudia; Bergantino, Angela Stefania; Carlo, … - European Regional Science Association - 2013
We measure technical efficiency in R&D of Italian regions with the aim of understanding whether the variation in transport infrastructure endowment across regions might be the cause of efficiency disparities. We use a semi-parametric method where in the first step we estimate bootstrapped...

Related Variety, Unrelated Variety and Technological Breakthroughs: An Analysis of U.S. State-Level Patenting
Los, Bart; Castaldi, Carolina; Frenken, Koen - European Regional Science Association - 2013
We investigate how variety affects the innovation output of a region. Borrowing arguments from theories of recombinant innovation, we expect that related variety will enhance innovation as related technologies are more easily recombined into a new technology. However, we also expect that...
