Quasi-experimental methods in empirical regional science and policy analysis : is there a scope for application?

Mitze, Timo; Paloyo, Alfredo R.; Alecke, Björn - 2012

revolution has yet to fully propagate to the field of regional science. We examine the scope for application of the matching … the matching approach is very appealing due to its methodological rigor and didactical clarity, we faced difficulties in … structural characteristics. Thus, results have to be interpreted with some caution. The matching approach nevertheless can be of …

Trade-FDI linkages in a system of gravity equations for German regional data

Mitze, Timo (contributor); Alecke, Björn (contributor); … - 2009

We analyse the nature of German trade-FDI linkages within the EU27 based on a simultaneous equation gravity approach for imports, exports, in- and outward FDI stocks. We adopt both a Hausman-Taylor (1981) IV approach (3SLS-GMM) and rival non-IV estimation (the system extension to the Fixed...

It's the debt-growth nexus again : evidence from a long panel of regional-government liabilities

Mitze, Timo; Matz, Florian - 2013

In this paper, we study the long- and short-run relationship between regional public debt and economic performance for a sample of German federal states over the period of four decades (1970-2010). By choosing a sample of regional entities with comparable institutional settings, we complement...

EU structural funds and regional income convergence : a sobering experience

Breidenbach, Philipp; Mitze, Timo; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2016

The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) are the prime instrument of EU regional policy. European policy makers place considerable hope into their growth stimulating funding measures to overcome current economic stagnation. Consequently, there is a strong need for credible evidence...

Network dependency in migration flows : a space-time analysis for Germany since re-unification

Mitze, Timo - 2010

The contribution of this paper is to analyse the role of network interdependencies in a dynamic panel data model for German internal migration flows since re-unification. So far, a capacious account of spatial patterns in German migration data is still missing in the empirical literature. In the...

Within and between panel cointegration in the German regional output-trade-FDI nexus

Mitze, Timo - 2010

For spatial data with a sufficiently long time dimension, the concept of global cointegration has been recently included in the econometrics research agenda. Global cointegration arises when non-stationary time series are cointegrated both within and between spatial units. In this paper, we...

Testing the neoclassical migration model : overall and age-group specific results for German regions

Mitze, Timo; Reinkowski, Janina - 2010

This paper tests the empirical validity of the neoclassical migration model in predicting German internal migration flows. We estimate static and dynamic migration functions for 97 Spatial Planning Regions between 1996 and 2006 using key labor market signals including income and unemployment...

Economic integration and growth at the margin : a space-time incremental impact analysis

Mitze, Timo; Breidenbach, Philipp - 2018

We use the case of EU enlargement in 2004 to investigate the impact of economic integration on regional income growth. Being particularly interested in studying the effects ‘at the margin’, we track the relative performance of regions adjacent to both sides of the integration border...

The complex regional effects of macro-institutional shocks : evidence from EU economic integration over three decades

Mitze, Timo; Breidenbach, Philipp - 2023

We use four subsequent EU enlargement waves over three decades (1980s, 1990s, 2000s) to assess the regional effects of macro-institutional changes. Our focus is set on EU internal border regions which are specifically exposed to international integration, but it remains unclear how they benefit...
