This paper attempts to analyze the impact of knowledge and knowledge spillovers on regional total factor productivity (TFP) in Europe. Regional patent stocks are used as a proxy for knowledge, and TFP is measured in terms of a superlative index. We follow Fischer et. al (2008) by using a...

This paper focuses on several estimation methods for SAR- models in case of missing observations in the dependent … in the failure of the 'traditional' estimation methods. To estimate the SAR- model with missings we propose different … estimation methods, like GMM, NLS and OLS. We will suggest to derive some of the estimators based on a model approximation. A …

Classical spatial autoregressive models share the same weakness as the classical linear regression models, namely it is not possible to estimate non-linear relationships between the dependent and independent variables. In the case of classical linear regression a semi-parametric approach can be...

This paper presents a comparative assessment of two distinct urban growth modeling approaches. The first urban model uses a traditional Cellular Automata methodology, based on Markov transition chains to prospect probabilities of future urban change. Drawing forth from non-linear cell dynamics,...

In this paper an attempt is made to assess the hypothesis of re- gional club-convergence, using a spatial panel analysis combined with B-Splines. In this context, a 'convergence-club' is conceived as a group of regions that in the long-run move towards steady-state equilib- rium, approximated in...

Unlike the time series literature the spatial econometric literature has not really dealt with the issue of the parameter space. This paper shows that current parameter space concepts for spatial econometric DGPs are inadequate. It proves that the parameter space proposed by Kelejian and Prucha...
