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 …

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...

Without purpose and strategy?: a spatio-functional analysis of the regional allocation of public investment in Greece
Monastiriotis, Vassilis; Psycharis, Yiannis - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2011
We utilise a large database on public investment at the prefecture (NUTS-3) level in Greece for the period 1976-2008 to examine the spatial and functional allocation of public investment in the country. We investigate the extent to which expenditures in different types of public investment are...

An Empirical Analysis of Employment, Migration, Local Public Services and Regional Income Growth in Appalachia
Gebremariam, Gebremeskel; Gebremedhin, Tesfa; … - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
This study develops a five-equation simultaneous system in a partial lag-adjustment growth-equilibrium framework. It improved previous models in the growth-equilibrium tradition by explicitly modeling local government and regional income in the growth process. It also explicitly modeled gross...

Is Income Inequality Endogenous in Regional Growth?
Hailu, Yohannes; Kahsai, Mulugeta; Gebremedhin, Tesfa; … - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2009
This study focuses on testing the relationship between income inequality and growth within U.S. counties, and the channels through which such effects are observed. Based on a system of equations estimation, the empirical results confirm the hypotheses that income inequality has a growth...

Agricultural Land Development in the Northeast United States: A Spatial Simultaenous Growth Equilibrium Model
Hailu, Yohannes; Brown, Cheryl - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
This study introduces a spatial simultaneous growth model to examine the impact of regional growth on agricultural land development. County level data on growth factors, land values, farmland density and a set of exogenous variables are used from 12 Northeast states. Results indicate that...

A Spatial Model of Regional Variations in Business Growth in Appalachian States
Gebremariam, Gebremeskel; Gebremedhin, Tesfa; … - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007
In this study, a spatial growth equilibrium model of business growth is developed and empirically estimated by Generalized Spatial Two-Stage Least Squares (GS2SLS) estimator using cross-sectional data from Appalachian States counties for 1990-2000. Beside the existence of spatial spillover...
