"Assessing agglomeration economies in a spatial framework with endogenous regressors"

Artis, Michael J.; Miguélez, Ernest; Morenos, Rosina - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2011

This paper is concerned with the influence of agglomeration economies on economic outcomes across British regions. The … assess the relative importance of agglomeration and other assets, controlling for endogeneity, spatial autocorrelation and … heteroscedasticity at the same time. Our results suggest that agglomeration has a definite positive influence on productivity, although …

“Firm exports, innovation, … and regions”

López-Bazo, Enrique; Motellón, Elisabet - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2013

This paper uses firm-level data for each of the Spanish NUTS2 regions to estimate the effect of product and process innovations on firm’s export performance. It shows that the firm’s propensity to innovate and its export activity vary substantially across regions. Remarkably, results prove...

La investigacion regional en Espana: Un analisis bibliometrico

Caralt, Jordi Surinach; Duque, Juan Carlos; Lobo, Raul Ramos - Facultat d'Economia i Empresa, Universitat de Barcelona - 2002

Different recent works have shown that Spanish economic research has increased its international presence during the nineties. These works have also found that there is a duality in the diffusion of the research through national or international journals in function of the considered research...
