Gegenstand dieses Artikels ist die Berechnung einer Translog-Produktionsfunktion für Gesamtdeutschland, die mit der endogenen Wachstumstheorie theoretisch fundiert wird. Die räumlich-ökonometrische Schätzung zeigt, dass die einbezogenen Produktionsfaktoren einen signifikanten positiven...

Mit der fortschreitenden Ausrichtung der Regionalpolitik auf innovative Netzwerke gewinnt die Abgrenzung von Innovationsregionen - Regionen, die die Informationsverflechtungen im Raum widerspiegeln - an Bedeutung. Die räumlich-ökonometrische Schätzung einer aus der endogenen Wachstumstheorie...

Der wirtschaftliche Entwicklungsstand von Regionen hängt nicht nur von ihrer eigenen Leistungsfähigkeit ab, sondern aufgrund räumlicher Überschwappeffekte auch von jener angrenzender Wirtschaftsräume. Positive Spillovers (Lieferverflechtungen, Nutzung der Infrastruktur in Nachbarregionen u....

We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor productivity transmitted through input-output relations in a sample of 13 OECD countries and 15 manufacturing industries. Both R&D spillovers as well as remainder,...

This paper estimates the aggregate productivity effects of Marshallian externalities generated by foreign direct investments (FDI) in the US. In contrast to earlier work, this paper puts special emphasis on controlling for Marshallian externalities and other intra- and inter-regional spillovers...

Based on a standard idea-based model of endogenous growth we test the hypothesis that regional innovative activity is path-dependent, and investigate the geographical scope of knowledge spillovers. Using data for West-German regions, two alternative indicators of the stock of knowledge are...

Outward migration data from the Philippines exhibit spatial clustering. This is likely due to information spillover effects - fellow migrants share information with other neighboring migrants, thereby lowering the costs of migration. To verify this, we use spatial econometrics to define a...

Since the beginning of the 1990s, the issue of income convergence has received considerable attention in economic research. Although a vast number of empirical studies has emerged, evidence on the role of spatial interaction is still rather scarce. The present paper is an attempt to provide...

Outward migration data from the Philippines exhibit spatial clustering. This is likely due to information spillover effects-fellow migrants share information with other neighboring migrants, thereby lowering the costs of migration. To verify this, we use spatial econometrics to define a...

In this paper we aim to analyze the productivity spillovers of foreign affiliated and domestic firms in Turkish manufacturing industries. As a novelty inter-sectoral linkages are modeled through the use of spatial models. Our results indicate the existence of positive and significant...
