Economic crisis accelerates urban structural change via inter-sectoral labour mobility

Straulino, Daniel; Diodato, Dario; O'Clery, Neave - 2022

Are recessions drivers of structural change? Here we investigate the resilience of cities, and argue that a re-allocation of labour between industrial sectors in times of crisis induces an acceleration in structural change. Using UK data, we find that cities experienced a sharp increase in...

Modelling the diffusion of the deterrent effects of competition policy

Dierx, Adriaan H.; Ilzkovitz, Fabienne; Pataracchia, … - 2022

market players. The present paper represents the diffusion amongst market players of such deterrent effects by a mixed …-influence diffusion model, which includes both an external triggering factor and an internal propagation mechanism. Within the present … mixed-influence diffusion model are calibrated using surveybased information on average deterrence multipliers and an …

How institutions shape the economic returns of public investment in European regions

Àlvarez Ayuso, Inmaculada; Barbero, Javier; Orea, Luis; … - 2023

In this paper, we examine the impact of institutional quality on the returns on key drivers of economic growth in 230 European Union (EU) NUTS-2 regions from 2009 to 2017. To estimate region-specific elasticities, we employ a latent class modelling approach, considering the quality of government...

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...

Floods and firms : vulnerabilities and resilience to natural disasters in Europe

Fatica, Serena; Kátay, Gábor; Rancan, Michela - 2022

Combining a rich database on natural hazards, granular flood risk maps and detailed information on firm geolocalisation, we study the dynamic impacts of floods on European manufacturing firms during the period 2007-2018. We find that water damages significantly and persistently worsen firm...

Are EU regions ready to tackle climate change?

Cappellano, Francesco; Marques Santos, Anabela; Dotti, … - 2023

This paper provides quantitative evidence on the geography of regional readiness to tackle climate change using data from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Following Cappellano et al. (2022), we estimate a composite indicator that reports the situation of regions in these countries...

Money talks, but can it run? : assessing the territorial dynamics of EU funds absorption capacity

Marques Santos, Anabela; Conte, Andrea; Molica, Francesco - 2023

Using data from the execution of 2014-2020 cohesion policy, the paper offers a comprehensive analysis of the speed of absorption capacity of European funds by introducing novel metrics. It evaluates absorption capacity considering time performance and distinguishing between national and regional...
