Dalen, Hendrik P. van; Groenewold, George; Fokkema, Tineke - Tinbergen Instituut - 2005
What determines remittances – altruism or enlightened self-interest - and do remittances trigger additional migration …, receipt of remittances may contribute to new flows of migration, in particular in the case of Morocco. …

Cultural and Institutional Determinants of Bilateral Trade Flows
Linders, Gert-Jan M.; Slangen, Arjen; Groot, Henri L.F. de - Tinbergen Institute - 2005
This paper studies the intangible costs of international trade by extending the basic gravity equation with measures of … cultural and institutional distance, and institutional quality. Analyzing a sample of bilateral trade flows between 92 … countries in 1999, we find that institutional distance has a negative effect on bilateral trade, presumably because the …

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...

Misspecification in Linear Spatial Regression Models
Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2003
Spatial effects are endemic in models based on spatially referenced data. The increased awareness of the relevance of spatial interactions, spatial externalities and networking effects among actors, evoked the area of spatial econometrics. Spatial econometrics focuses on the specification and...

Regional Clusters of Innovative Activity in Europe: Are Social Capital and Geographical Proximity the Key Determinants?
Dominicis, Laura de; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Groot, … - Tinbergen Institute - 2011
Finding proper policy instruments to promote productivity growth features prominently on the Lisbon agenda and is central in many national as well as European policy debates. In view of the increased mobility of high-skilled workers in Europe, ongoing globalization and increased interregional...
