Regional growth and national development: transition in Central and Eastern Europe and the regional Kuznets curve in the East and the West
Monastiriotis, Vassilis - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2014
Regional disparities in Central and Eastern Europe rose substantially since 1990. Still, prima facie evidence of beta-convergence … convergence. In both CEE and the ‘old’ EU15, regional convergence is strongly linked to the level of national development, non …-linearly. But while in the EU15 convergence speeds-up at intermediate/high levels of development, in CEE we find divergence at …

Bal-Domanska, Beata; Pietrzak, Michal Bernard - Instytut Badañ Gospodarczych (IBG) - 2014
The objective of the article is to identify and evaluate spatial relations in terms of economic determinants for the regions of Central and Eastern European countries (in accordance with Eurostat methodology NUTS-2 stands for the corresponding level) having applied the construction of an...

The application of spatial taxonomic measure of development (pTMD) in analysis of the labour market
Pietrzak, Michal Bernard - Instytut Badañ Gospodarczych (IBG) - 2014
The theme of the paper is focused on the application of spatial taxonomic measure of development (pTMR) while analysing the labour market in Poland. The need for the use of a spatial taxonomic measure of development is related to the fact that most economic phenomena are characterized by...

Taxonomic Measure of Development (TMD) with the inclusion of spatial dependence
Pietrzak, Michal Bernard - Instytut Badañ Gospodarczych (IBG) - 2014
The subject of the article concerns the question of the use of a taxonomic measure of development (TMR) in spatial economic analyses under the conditions of spatial dependence. Positive spatial dependence is observed for the majority of economic phenomena. This forces the inclusion of this...

Interpretation of structural parameters for models with spatial autoregression.
Pietrzak, Michal Bernard - Instytut Badañ Gospodarczych (IBG) - 2013
The main purpose of the article is to consider a important issue of spatial econometrics which is a proper interpretation of structural parameters of econometric models with spatial autoregression. The problem will be considered based on the example of the spatial SAR model. Another purpose of...

Application of the MESS model in space-time analysis of the unemployment rate in Poland
Muller-Fraczek, Iwona; Pietrzak, Michal Bernard - Instytut Badañ Gospodarczych (IBG) - 2013
The purpose of the article was a space-time analysis of the unemployment rate in polish poviats. In the research we use a model in which spatial dependence is represented in the exponential form, based on the neighborhood matrix. This model, called the Matrix Exponential model, was proposed by...

Impacts of Regional Growth on Farmland Development in the Northeast U.S.
Hailu, Yohannes; Brown, Cheryl - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
This study models the relationship between regional growth and agricultural land development in the Northeast United States. A system of simultaneous equations is estimated using three-stage-least squares on county-level data. Results indicate that regional growth puts upward pressure on...
