Productivity effects of an exogenous improvement in transport infrastructure: accessibility and the Great Belt Bridge
De Borger, Bruno L.; Mulalic, Ismir; Rouwendal, Jan - 2019
Most studies of the effects of transport infrastructure on the performance of individual firms have focused on marginal expansions of the rail or highway network over time. In this paper, we study the short-run effects of a large discrete shock in the quality of transport infrastructure, viz....

Welfare Benefits of Agglomeration and Worker Heterogeneity
Teulings, Coen; Ossokina, Ioulia; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2014
The direct impact of local public goods on welfare is relatively easy to measure from land rents. However, the indirect effects on home and job location, on land use, and on agglomeration benefits are hard to pin down. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model for the valuation of these...

Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Convergence
Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2004
This paper provides an empirical analysis of energy- and labour-productivity convergence at a detailed sectoral level … for 14 OECD countries, covering the period 1970-1997. A fã-convergence analysis shows that the development of cross …-country variation in productivity performance depends on the level of aggregation. Both patterns of convergence as well as divergence …

International Comparisons of Sectoral Energy- and Labour-Productivity Performance: Stylised Facts and Decomposition of Trends
Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2004
This paper addresses the interplay between economic growth, energy use, change in sectoral composition and technological change, by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity development for 14 OECD countries and four sectors over the period 1970-1997. A cross-country decomposition...

Decoupling Economic Growth and Energy Use. An Empirical Cross-Country Analysis for 10 Manufacturing Sectors
Mulder, Peter; de Groot, Henri L.F. - 2004
This paper provides an empirical analysis of decoupling economic growth and energy use and its various determinants by exploring trends in energy- and labour productivity across 10 manufacturing sectors and 14 OECD countries for the period 1970-1997. We explicitly aim to trace back aggregate...

aggregate energy intensity dynamics. A convergence analysis reveals that only after 1995 cross-country variation in aggregate … convergence in Services. Moreover, we find evidence for the hypothesis that across sectors lagging countries are catching-up with … leading countries, with rates of convergence on average being higher in Services than in Manufacturing. Aggregate convergence …

Agglomeration, Innovation and Regional Development: Theoretical Perspectives and Meta-Analysis
de Groot, Henri L.F.; Poot, Jacques; Smit, Martijn J. - 2007
Innovation and technological change are central to the quest for regional development. In the globally-connected knowledge-driven economy, the relevance of agglomeration forces that rely on proximity continues to increase, paradoxically despite declining real costs of information, communication...

The Regional Impact of Monetary Policy in Indonesia
Ridhwan, Masagus M.; de Groot, Henri L.F.; Rietveld, Piet; … - 2011
This paper employs Vector Autoregression (VAR) models to measure the impact of monetary policy shocks on regional output in Indonesia. Having incorporated a possible structural break following the aftermath of the 1997-98 Asian Crisis, the impulse response functions derived from the estimated...

Unravelling urban advantages - A meta-analysis of agglomeration economies
Donovan, Stuart; de Graaff, Thomas; de Groot, Henri; … - 2021
A large body of literature considers the productive advantages of cities, or "agglomeration economies". Most empirical studies report positive agglomeration economies, although large variation exists in the magnitude of estimates. We use a meta-analysis to explore this variation, drawing on...
