Output, Growth, and Convergence in a Creative Region : An Analysis of Some Measurement Issues

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2017

creative regions. We focus first (second) on absolute (relative) convergence. In the absolute (relative) convergence case, the … convergence case, we analyze how to estimate the speed of convergence parameter (σ) and then discuss the relationship between the … variance of y<sub>j</sub>(t) and that of y<sub>j</sub>(0). In the relative convergence case, we study the error associated with …

Human Capital Use, Innovation, Patent Protection, and Economic Growth in Multiple Regions

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2012

We provide what to the best of our knowledge is the first theoretical analysis of the total effects of human capital use, innovative activity, and patent protection, on economic growth in a model with many regions. In each region, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there...

Technology, Learning, and Long Run Economic Growth in Leading and Lagging Regions

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2014

We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

Creative Capital, Information and Communication Technologies, and Economic Growth in Smart Cities

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2018

We study aspects of economic growth in a stylized smart city with two distinct features. First, the modeled inhabitants of this city are smart because they possess skills. Using the language of Richard Florida, these inhabitants comprise the city's creative class and hence they possess creative...

Innovation Driven Economic Growth in Multiple Regions and Taxation : A Dynamic Analysis

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A. - 2015

We provide the first theoretical analysis of the effects of alternate forms of taxation on economic growth in a dynamic model with multiple regions. The regions are heterogeneous but, in each region, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there is no growth in the stock of...

Innovation, Decentralization, and Planning in a Multi-Region Model of Schumpeterian Economic Growth

Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2014

We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to six findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...
