Commuting in Europe: an inter-regional analysis on its determinants and spatial effects
Castelli, Chiara; Parenti, Angela - 2020
Commuting shapes countless everyday-lives around the world, with dynamics varying from city to regional and cross regional level. Taking as reference the free-movement EU-28 area (plus Switzerland and Norway), the analysis considers a total sample of 195 NUTS2 regions over the decade 2007-2017...

Estimating the neighborhood influence on decision makers : theory and an application on the analysis of innovation decisions
Hautsch, Nikolaus; Klotz, Stefan - 2001
When making decisions, agents tend to make use of decisions others have made in similar situations. Ignoring this behavior in empirical models can be interpreted as a problem of omitted variables and may seriously bias parameter estimates and harm inference. We suggest a possibility of...

Spatial model selection and spatial knowledge spillovers: a regional view of Germany
Klarl, Torben - 2010
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new model selection mechanism for cross sectional spatial models. This method is more flexible than the approach proposed by Florax et al. (2003) since it controls for spatial dependence as well as for spatial heterogeneity. In particular, Bayesian and...

Ecological fiscal transfers in Europe : evidence-based design options of a transnational scheme
Droste, N.; Ring, I.; Santos, R.; Kettunen, M. - 2016
Ecological Fiscal Transfers (EFT) have recently gained attention as a promising instrument to provide incentives for nature conservation addressing public authorities. In parallel, both the EU and different European countries are exploring new mechanisms to mobilise funding to support...

Measurement errors arising when using distances in microeconometric modelling and the individuals' position is geo-masked for confidentiality
Arbia, Giuseppa; Espa, Giuseppe; Giuliani, Diego - In: Econometrics : open access journal 3 (2015) 4, pp. 709-718
In many microeconometric models we use distances. For instance, in modelling the individual behavior in labor economics or in health studies, the distance from a relevant point of interest (such as a hospital or a workplace) is often used as a predictor in a regression framework. However, in...

Disentangling small-scale solar photovoltaic adoption : a spatial analysis of decision factors and localized interactions in Germany
Stein, Tobias; Sieger, Lisa; Weber, Christoph - 2023
The existence of spatial patterns in the adoption of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is widely accepted in the academic literature. The diffusion of these systems depends on decisions of heterogenous units, often households, that form their decision based on unit characteristics and...

Long-term processes of regional concentration and dispersion-fuzzy evidence for Western German
Dauth, Wolfgang; Fuchs, Michaela; Otto, Anne - 2010 - Draft version
The description of geographical concentration and the search for its causes is at the focus of many studies. However … relationships. This paper aims at filling this gap. We measure concentration in Western Germany for the time period from 1986 to … 2006 with the Ellison-Glaeser index (EGI). In order to account for concentration processes at various levels, we …

Convergence and the effects of spatial interaction
Niebuhr, Annekatrin - 2000
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of income convergence has received considerable attention in economic research. Although a vast number of empirical studies has emerged, evidence on the role of spatial interaction is still rather scarce. The present paper is an attempt to provide...

Regionale Produktionsfunktionen mit Spillover-Effekten für Deutschland
Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Kosfeld, Reinhold; Türck, Matthias - 2004
Gegenstand dieses Artikels ist die Berechnung einer Translog-Produktionsfunktion für Gesamtdeutschland, die mit der endogenen Wachstumstheorie theoretisch fundiert wird. Die räumlich-ökonometrische Schätzung zeigt, dass die einbezogenen Produktionsfaktoren einen signifikanten positiven...

Deutsche Innovationsregionen
Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Türck, Matthias - 2005
Mit der fortschreitenden Ausrichtung der Regionalpolitik auf innovative Netzwerke gewinnt die Abgrenzung von Innovationsregionen - Regionen, die die Informationsverflechtungen im Raum widerspiegeln - an Bedeutung. Die räumlich-ökonometrische Schätzung einer aus der endogenen Wachstumstheorie...
