The effects of the EU Cohesion Policy on regional economic growth : using structural equation modelling for impact assessment
Maucorps, Ambre; Jestl, Stefan; Römisch, Roman - 2020
This paper analyses the effects of the EU Cohesion Policy (CP) on the economic growth of 276 European NUTS-2 regions between 2008 and 2016. Using a structural equation model (SEM) consisting of both a measurement component (with two latent variables) and a structural component, we estimate the...

Landlockedness and economic development : analyzing subnational panel data and exploring mechanisms
Jetter, Michael; Mösle, Saskia; Stadelmann, David - 2017
This paper revisits the hypothesis that landlocked regions are systematically poorer than regions with ocean access, using panel data for 1,527 subnational regions in 83 nations from 1950-2014. This data structure allows us to exploit within-country-time variation only (e.g., regional variation...

Dualism and cross-country growth regressions
Temple, Jonathan; Woessmann, Ludger - 2004
This paper examines whether growth regressions should incorporate dualism and structural change. If there is a differential across sectors in the marginal product of labour, changes in the structure of employment can raise aggregate total factor productivity. The paper develops empirical growth...

Human capital quality and aggregate income differences : development accounting for US states
Hanushek, Eric Alan; Ruhose, Jens; Woessmann, Ludger - 2015
Although many U.S. state policies presume that human capital is important for state economic development, there is little research linking better education to state incomes. In a complement to international studies of income differences, we investigate the extent to which quality-adjusted...

Economic gains for US states from educational reform
Hanushek, Eric Alan; Ruhose, Jens; Woessmann, Ludger - 2015
There is limited existing evidence justifying the economic case for state education policy. Using newly-developed measures of the human capital of each state that allow for internal migration and foreign immigration, we estimate growth regressions that incorporate worker skills. We find that...
