Regional economic convergence and spatial spillovers in Turkey
Kındap, Ahmet; Doğan, Tayyar - In: International econometric review 11 (2019) 1, pp. 1-23
Using sigma and beta convergence methods, this study tests economic convergence in Turkish NUTS-2 regions between 2004 …-2011. The findings of sigma convergence analysis show that the interregional income gap decreases during economic recession … periods and increases during economic expansion periods. The beta convergence results obtained by the cross-sectional and …

The spillover effect of European Union funds between the regions of the new European Union members
Maras, Marin - In: Croatian review of economic, business and social … 8 (2022) 1, pp. 58-72
As the differences between the regions are more pronounced than among the countries, NUTS 2 regions of the new members that joined the EU after 2000 are considered. Due to the presence of externalities between the regions, the Solow growth model using interregional externalities is used. This is...

The impact of regional absorptive capacity on spatial knowledge spillovers
Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008
We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...

Interregional spillovers and urban-rural disparity in U.S. employment growth
Saito, Hisamitsu; Gopinath, Munisamy; Wu, JunJie - 2010
A wide urban-rural disparity is observed in employment growth in the United States. For example, employment growth averaged 2.1 percent in urban counties during 1998-2007, compared with just 1 percent in rural counties. In this study, we examine the sources of U.S. employment growth using the...

Is regional innovative activity path-dependent? : an empirical analysis for Germany
Bode, Eckhardt - 2001
Based on a standard idea-based model of endogenous growth we test the hypothesis that regional innovative activity is path-dependent, and investigate the geographical scope of knowledge spillovers. Using data for West-German regions, two alternative indicators of the stock of knowledge are...
