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...

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...

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...

FDI and growth : can different regional identities shape the returns to foreign capital investments?

Casi, Laura; Resmini, Laura - 2014 - First draft

Do regional identities determine different levels of FDI-induced growth? This paper analyses the impact of FDI on the growth rates of European regions. In so doing, it discusses the role of different components of territorial capital in magnifying or daunting such an impact. The paper starts...
