Measurement Error in Education and Growth Regressions
Portela, Miguel; Alessie, Rob; Teulings, Coen - Tinbergen Institute - 2004
The perpetual inventory method used for the construction of education data per country leads to systematic measurement error. This paper analyses the effect of this measurement error on GDP regressions. There is a systematic difference in the education level between census data and observations...

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 … misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial linkages in standard empirical models of economic growth. Our dataset consists … of TFP estimates for 73 countries over the period 1960-2000, and we find that TFP growth rates and levels are positively …
