The optimal size of German cities: An efficiency analysis perspective
Hitzschke, Stephan - 2011
This work investigates the interrelation between production efficiency and population size of German cities. The productive efficiency in this context is the scale efficiency, which is a result of positive and negative agglomeration externalities. The investigation is performed in a two-stage...

The impact of knowledge spillovers on regional total factor productivity : new empirical evidence from selected European countries
Puškárová, Paula; Piribauer, Philipp - 2014
This paper aims to identify the contribution of knowledge capital and its determinant - human capital - to total factor productivity differences among regions within a regression framework in general and the impact of their spillovers on regional total factor productivity in particular. The...

Between Spilling Over and Boiling Down : Network-Mediated Spillovers, Absorptive Capacity and Productivity in European Regions
Cortinovis, Nicola - 2017
Productivity across European regions is related to three types of networks that mediate R&D-related knowledge spillovers: trade, co-patenting and geographical proximity. Both our panel and instrumental variable estimations for European regions suggest that network relations are crucial sources...

Spatial Productivity Spillovers, Entrepreneurship Capital and Regional Productivity : A Spatial Autoregressive Dynamic Panel Model
Kanellopoulos, Vasilios - 2022
The present paper examines the effect of entrepreneurship capital and spatial productivity spillovers on Greek regional labour productivity during Greek financial crisis. A spatial autoregressive (SAR) dynamic panel data model using the robust Blundell and Bond GMM estimator suggests that...

Spatial development and the law of one price: Evidence of convergence of land values
Capuno, Joseph J. - 2010
Many developing countries exhibit imbalanced spatial development, but corrective policies are hampered by lack of adequate sub-regional development data. Building on the insights of the factor price equalization theorem and by applying measures of spatial autocorrelation on land values, patterns...

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 …
