Aloi, Marta; Poyago-Theotoky, Joanna; Tournemaine, … - 2018

We analyse how spatial disparities in innovation activities, coupled with migration costs, affect economic geography, growth and regional inequality. We provide conditions for existence and uniqueness of a spatial equilibrium, and for the endogenous emergence of industry clusters. Spatial...

Regional productivity network in the EU

Mastromarco, Camilla; Serlenga, Laura; Shin, Yongcheol - 2023

We develop a unified stochastic frontier model which controls for the local spatial correlation and the global factor dependence as well as parameter heterogeneity, simultaneously. We then propose the regional productivity network analysis to examine the diffusion impacts of the capital...

Identifying agglomeration shadows : long-run evidence from ancient ports

Hornbeck, Richard; Michaels, Guy; Rauch, Ferdinand - 2024

We examine “agglomeration shadows” that emerge around large cities, which discourage some economic activities in nearby areas. Identifying agglomeration shadows is complicated, however, by endogenous city formation and \wave interference" that we show in simulations. We use the locations of...
