The determinants and dynamics of regional convergence in the EU
Arvanitopoulos, Theodoros; Lazarou, Nicholas-Joseph - 2023
In this study, we employ the pairwise stochastic convergence approach to identify the pairs of NUTS2 regions for all 28 EU Member States that exhibit co-movement in their growth dynamics, over the period 1980-2018. We then use the observed stochastic convergence trajectories to assess the role...

More bucks, more growth, more justice? : the effects of regional structural funds on regional economic growth and convergence in Germany
Eberle, Jonathan; Brenner, Thomas - 2016
This paper analyzes the impact of the German structure program "Joint Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures" (GRW) on regional economic growth. The paper extends the existing literature by several aspects. First of all, using the popular augmented Solow model by Mankiw et al....

Regional bank efficiency and its effect on regional growth in “normal” and “bad” times
Belke, Ansgar; Haskamp, Ulrich; Setzer, Ralph - 2015
The financial crisis affected regions in Europe in a different magnitude. This is why we examine whether regions which incorporate banks with a higher intermediation quality grow faster in “normal” times and are more resilient in “bad” ones. For this purpose, we measure the...

Bank Efficiency and Regional Growth in Europe : New Evidence from Micro-Data
Belke, Ansgar Hubertus - 2017
This paper examines whether European regions which incorporate banks with a higher intermediation quality grow faster and are more resilient to negative shocks than its less efficient peers. For this purpose, we measure a bank's intermediation quality by estimating its profit and cost efficiency...

The Quality of Banking and Regional Growth
Hasan, Iftekhar - 2016
We test whether output growth in European economic agglomeration regions depends on financial development. To this end we suggest a relative measure of the quality of financial institutions rather than the usual quantity proxy of financial development. In order to measure the quality of...

The determinants of economic growth in European regions
Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Doppelhofer, Gernot; … - 2009
We use Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to evaluate the robustness of determinants of economic growth in a new dataset of 255 European regions in the 1995-2005 period. We use three different specifications based on (1) the cross-section of regions, (2) the cross-section of regions with country...
