The impact of related variety on regional employment growth in Finland 1993-2006: high-tech versus medium/low-tech

Hartog, Matté; Boschma, Ron; Sotarauta, Markku - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2012

This paper investigates the impact of related variety on regional employment growth in Finland between 1993 and 2006 by means of a dynamic panel regression model. We find that related variety in general has no impact on growth. Instead, after separating related variety among low-and-medium tech...

What Do We Know About Geographical Knowledge Spillovers and Regional Growth? A Survey of the Literature

Döring, Thomas; Schnellenbach, Jan - 2004

Modern (endogenous) growth theory tells us that knowledge spillovers are crucial for the growth of high-income economies. Against this background the paper provides a survey of theoretical and empirical findings highlighting the question of how geographically limited knowledge diffusion can help...

Measuring Knowledge Spillovers: A Non-appropriable Returns Perspective

Li, Jian; Shen, Kunrong; Zhang, Ru - In: Annals of Economics and Finance 12 (2011) 2, pp. 265-293

A new approach is developed to measure knowledge spillovers by means of proportion of non-appropriable returns to social returns, assuming no specific forms of production and knowledge functions. It is complicated theoretically, but very simple and practical empirically. Using PWT 6.3, we find...

The geographic reach of knowledge spillovers: A functional regression approach with precise geo-referenced data

Eppelsheimer, Johann; Rust, Christoph - 2019

This paper applies functional regression to precise geo-coded register data to measure productivity spillovers from high-skilled workers. We use a smoothing splines estimator to model the spatial distribution of high-skilled workers as continuous curves. Our rich panel data allows us to address...

Demographic change, growth and agglomeration

Grafeneder-Weissteiner, Theresa - 2010

Recently, there has been wide interest in the "economics" of population aging. Demographic change has crucial consequences for economic behavior; it e.g. implies that consumption and investment decisions vary over the life-cycle. The latter has important implications for economic growth, whereas...

The Impact of Regional Absorptive Capacity on Spatial Knowledge Spillovers

Caragliu, Andrea; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008

We design a conceptual framework for linking two approaches: the literature on absorptive capacity and the literature on spatial knowledge spillovers. Regions produce new knowledge, but only part of it is efficiently adopted in the economy; the share of efficiently adopted technology depends on...
