Intra- and Inter-Industry Productivity Spillovers in OECD Manufacturing : A Spatial Econometric Perspective
Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter H. - 2021
We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor …&D spillovers as well as remainder, input-output-related linkage effects are accounted for, the latter of which we model by a … spatial regressive error process. We find that knowledge spillovers occur both horizontally and vertically, whereas remainder …
