In this paper we study the relationship between human capital accumulation and economic growth using various measures of human capital frequently employed by researchers. We use semiparametric estimation techniques to uncover any nonlinearities that may exist.

In This paper we extend the sensitivity analysis of cross-country growth regressions of Levine and Renelt (1992), by introducing a semiparametric fomulation of their regression function.

Spillovers between research by industry or academic institutions and industrial output has been a subject of much interest for economists. In this paper we investigate the determinants of research output by European economics departements paying particular attention to spillovers from North...

Using panel data we investigate the relationship between income inequality and economic development. We employ a threshold regression model that allows for endogenous income thresholds and find strong evidence of a two-regime split in our sample.
