Network Formation with Heterogeneous Players

Galeotti, Andrea; Goyal, Sanjeev - Tinbergen Institute - 2002

This paper studies network formation in settings where players are heterogeneous with respect to benefits as well as … the costs of forming links. Our results demonstrate that centrality, center-sponsorship and short network diameter are … groups as compared to across groups, strategic play by individuals leads to a network architecture in which there is a core …

Regional Clusters of Innovative Activity in Europe: Are Social Capital and Geographical Proximity the Key Determinants?

Dominicis, Laura de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Groot, … - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

Finding proper policy instruments to promote productivity growth features prominently on the Lisbon agenda and is central in many national as well as European policy debates. In view of the increased mobility of high-skilled workers in Europe, ongoing globalization and increased interregional...

Spatial Patterns of Technology Diffusion: An Empirical Analysis using TFP

Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Institute - 2004

In this paper we employ techniques developed in spatial econometrics to analyse spatial patterns of technology diffusion, to detect clusters and to estimate theoretical models that incorporate space explicitly. These techniques correct for misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial...

Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models

Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2003

Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

The Impact of Regional Absorptive Capacity on Spatial Knowledge Spillovers

Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2008

We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Space and Growth

Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Institute - 2004

This paper reviews the empirical literature on growth and convergence that has addressed the importance of spatial factors. An important distinction in this literature is the one between absolute and relative location. The literature on absolute location predominantly uses non-spatial...
