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...

A Bayesian space-time approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe
Fischer, Manfred M.; Lesage, James P. - 2013
This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step calculates Bayesian probabilities for various assignments of regions to two clubs using a general stochastic space-time dynamic panel relationship between growth rates and...

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....

Total Factor Productivity, Intangible Assets and Spatial Dependence in the European Regions
Dettori, Barbara; Marrocu, Emanuela; Paci, Raffaele - 2011
In the last decade there has been an upsurge of studies on international comparisons of Total Factor Productivity (TFP … physical capital) but mainly in productivity and technology. Therefore, a crucial issue is the analysis of the determinants of …

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...

More publicly funded research, more knowledge spillovers, more economic growth? : an empirical analysis for German regions
Eberle, Jonathan; Brenner, Thomas; Mitze, Timo - 2018
This paper deals with the effects of publicly funded research on regional technological progress and economic growth. We adopt a system approach and investigate the effects on all regional input factors and output by means of a flexible spatial panel VAR (SpPVAR) model. This allows us to deal...

Technical change and total factor productivity growth for Chinese provinces : a panel data analysis
Shiu, Alice (contributor); Heshmati, Almas (contributor) - 2006
We present in this paper the panel econometrics estimation approach of measuring the technical change and total factor … productivity (TFP) growth of 30 Chinese provinces during the period of 1993 to 2003. The random effects model with heteroscedastic … variances has been used for the estimation of the translog production functions. Two alternative formulations of technical …
