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...

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). The empirical evidence suggests that countries and regions differ not only in traditional factor endowments (labour and physical capital) but mainly in productivity and...

Spatial Externalities and Growth in a Mankiw-Romer-Weil World : Theory and Evidence
Fischer, Manfred M. - 2017
This paper presents a theoretical growth model that accounts for technological interdependence among regions in a Mankiw-Romer-Weil world. The reasoning behind the theoretical work is that technological ideas cannot be fully appropriated by investors and these ideas may diffuse and increase the...

The effect of new firm formation on regional development over time
Fritsch, Michael; Mueller, Pamela - 2004
In our analysis of the impact of new firm formation on regional employment change we identified considerable time lags. We investigated the structure and extent of these time lags by applying the Almon lag model and found that new firms can have both a positive and a negative effect on regional...

We investigate the effects of new business formation on employment change in German regions. A special focus is on the lag-structure of this effect and on differences between regions. The different phases of the effects of new business formation on regional development are relatively pronounced...

Spatial filtering, model uncertainty and the speed of income convergence in Europe
Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Feldkircher, Martin - 2009
In this paper we put forward a Bayesian Model Averaging method dealing with model uncertainty in the presence of potential spatial autocorrelation. The method uses spatial filtering in order to account for different types of spatial links. We contribute to existing methods that handle spatial...
