The Impact of the Spatial Population Distribution on Economic Growth : Evidence from the United States
Bürgi, Constantin; Gorgulu, Nisan - 2022
We look at a part of the spatial angle of economic growth. We introduce a new measure Spatial Population Concentration (SPC) that captures the weighted average population surrounding every person within a geographic area. The weights are a function of the distance between the person in question...

Subsequently, we set out the possible mismatches between price level convergence and inflation rates … factors on observed inflation rates first in an accounting framework and then by relying on panel estimations. Our estimation … economic convergence may push up inflation rates in transition economies. Cyclical effects and regulated prices are found to be …

Sectoral Okun's Law and Cross-Country Cyclical Differences
Goto, Eiji - 2020
We estimate Okun's law, the negative relationship between output and the unemployment rate, at the sector level for the US, the UK, Japan, and Switzerland to test several hypotheses that may explain why the aggregate Okun's coeffcients are different across countries. Specifically, we show that...

Quarterly GDP Estimates for the German States : New Data for Business Cycle Analyses and Long-Run Dynamics
Lehmann, Robert; Wikman, Ida - 2023
To date, only annual information on economic activity is published for the 16 German states. In this paper, we calculate quarterly regional GDP estimates for the period between 1995 to 2021, thereby improving the regional database for Germany. The new data set will regularly be updated when...

Setting a Good Example? Examining Sibling Spillovers in Education Achievement Using a Regression Discontinuity Design
Karbownik, Krzysztof - 2019
We identify externalities in human capital production function arising from sibling spillovers. Using regression discontinuity design generated by school-entry cutoffs and school records from one district in Florida, we find positive spillover effects from an older to a younger child in less...

Intra- and Inter-Industry Productivity Spillovers in OECD Manufacturing : A Spatial Econometric Perspective
Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter H. - 2021
We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor productivity transmitted through input-output relations in a sample of 13 OECD countries and 15 manufacturing industries. Both R&D spillovers as well as remainder,...

Long-Term Effects of Hiring Subsidies for Unemployed Youths—Beware of Spillovers
Albanese, Andrea; Cockx, Bart; Dejemeppe, Muriel - 2022
We use (donut) regression discontinuity design and difference-in-differences estimators to estimate the impact of a one-shot hiring subsidy targeted at low-educated unemployed youths during the Great Recession recovery in Belgium. The subsidy increases job-finding in the private sector by 10...
