Structural change, productivity growth and Structural Funds in European regions
Pontarollo, Nicola - 2013
A key factor for a stable and solid development is the gain in labor productivity. The regions that manage to pull out of poverty and improve the living standards of their inhabitants, in fact, need to be able to diversify away from agriculture and other traditional sectors. In doing this, the...

They arrive with new information. Tourism flows and production efficiency in the European regions
Paci, Raffaele; Marrocu, Emanuela - 2010
Firms productivity is crucially influenced by knowledge spillovers generated either by other firms located nearby or by direct contacts with consumers or by foreign demand in the case of traded products. In this paper we propose a new channel of efficiency-enhancing knowledge diffusion, which...

Testing Unified Growth Theory: Technological Progress and the Child Quantity--Quality Trade-off
Strulik, Holger - 2021
A core mechanism of unified growth theory is that accelerating technological progress induces mass education and, in interaction with child quantity-quality substitution, a decline in fertility. Using unique new data for 21 OECD countries over the period 1750-2000, we test, for the first time,...

Knowledge Capital and Aggregate Income Differences: Development Accounting for U.S. States
Ruhose, Jens; Hanushek, Eric A.; Woessmann, Ludger - 2016
Although many U.S. state policies presume that human capital is important for state economic development, there is little research linking better education to state incomes. We develop detailed measures of skills of workers in each state based on school attainment from census micro data and on...
