The complementary effects of proximity dimensions on knowledge spillovers
Marrocu, Emanuela; Paci, Raffaele; Usai, Stefano - 2012 - First edition: November 2011, second edition: January 2012
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effect of various proximity dimensions on the innovative capacity of 276 regions in Europe within a knowledge production function model, where R&D and human capital are included as the main internal inputs. We combine the standard geographical...

Regional dynamics of economic performance in the EU : to what extent spatial spillovers matter?
Özyurt, Selin; Dées, Stéphane - 2015
This paper investigates the main determinants of economic growth in the European Union from a regional perspective. The analysis is based on a recently available dataset from the European Cluster Observatory covering 253 European regions over the period 2002-2008. In addition to the traditional...

A Bayesian approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe
Fischer, Manfred M.; Lesage, James P. - 2012
This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step involves identifying the number and composition of clubs using a space-time panel data model for annual income growth rates in conjunction with Bayesian model comparison...

Estimates of the impact of static and dynamic knowledge spillovers on regional factor productivity
Lesage, James P.; Fischer, Manfred M. - 2010
We develop an empirical approach to examine static and dynamic knowledge externalities in the context of a regional total factor productivity relationship. Static externalities refer to current period scale or industry-size effects which have been labeled localization externalities or...

A Bayesian space-time approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe
Fischer, Manfred M.; Lesage, James P. - 2013
This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step calculates Bayesian probabilities for various assignments of regions to two clubs using a general stochastic space-time dynamic panel relationship between growth rates and...

Foreign Direct Investment and growth : the role of territorial capital
Casi, Laura; Resmini, Laura - 2012 - This version: June 2012, first draft
In the last years, and particularly since the publication of the famous Barca Report (Barca, 2009), the European Union (EU) is starting to acknowledge the importance of spatially targeted regional policies and to understand how crucial a territorial approach can be in order to achieve desirable...
