The geographic reach of knowledge spillovers: A functional regression approach with precise geo-referenced data
Eppelsheimer, Johann; Rust, Christoph - 2019
This paper applies functional regression to precise geo-coded register data to measure productivity spillovers from high-skilled workers. We use a smoothing splines estimator to model the spatial distribution of high-skilled workers as continuous curves. Our rich panel data allows us to address...
