A Meta-Analysis of Beta-Convergence: The Legendary Two-Percent
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005
The topic of convergence is at the heart of a wide-ranging debate in the growth literature. Empirical studies of … convergence differ widely in their theoretical backgrounds, empirical specifications and in their treatment of cross …-sectional heterogeneity. Despite these differences, a rate of convergence of about 2% has been found under a variety of different conditions …

Spatial Patterns of Technology Diffusion: An Empirical Analysis using TFP
Abreu, Maria; Groot, Henri L.F. de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M. - Tinbergen Instituut - 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...

German and the rest of euro area fiscal policy during the crisis
Gadatsch, Niklas; Hauzenberger, Klemens; Stähler, Nikolai - 2015
We present the estimated large-scale three-region DSGE model GEAR picturing Germany, the Euro Area and the Rest of the world. Compared to existing models of this type, GEAR incorporates a comprehensive fiscal block, involuntary unemployment and a complex international structure. We use the model...

German labor market and fiscal reforms 1999 to 2008 : can they be blamed for intra-euro area imbalances?
Gadatsch, Niklas; Stähler, Nikolai; Weigert, Benjamin - 2015
In this paper, we assess the impact of major German structural reforms from 1999 to 2008 on key macroeconomic variables. By many, these reforms, especially the Hartz reforms on the labor market, are considered to be the root of observed imbalances in the Euro Area. Our simulations within a...

Thoughts on a fiscal union in EMU
Gadatsch, Niklas; Hollmayr, Josef; Stähler, Nikolai - 2016
Using an estimated large-scale New-Keynesian model, we assess welfare and business cycle consequences of a fiscal union within EMU. We differentiate between three different scenarios: public revenue equalisation, tax harmonisation and a centralised fiscal authority. Relative to the status quo,...
