This paper deals with the relationship between knowledge, innovation and regional growth. The study is carried out through the application of nonparametric estimation methods to European data at NUTS2 level. We provide evidence that the share of innovative ...firms plays a more relevant role in...

While many commentators perceive unemployment to be a key risk factor for intimate partner violence, the empirical evidence remains limited. We combine individual-level data from the British Crime Survey (BCS) with local labor market data to estimate the effects of total and gender-specific...

This paper presents the nonlinear regression analysis between the transformer's measurable parameters (temperature of oil and winding) and the electrical parameters (hydropower plant's aggregate). There is not a specific mathematical function that connects the winding and oil temperature with...
