Spatial aid spillovers during transition [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Political Economy, 2015
We investigate whether development aid stimulates growth in transition economies, paying particular attention to the possibility of spatial spillovers arising from aid. We find that common borders and a shared historical and political heritage result in a complex set of associations between aid and growth.

Externalities, knowledge spillovers and the spatial distribution of innovation [PDF]

open access: possibleGeoJournal, 1999
The aim of the paper is to investigate the process of spatial agglomeration of innovation and production activities and to assess the extent to which the degree of specialisation or diversity externalities in the area may affect the innovative output in a particular local industry.

Spatial Spillovers of Conflict in Somalia

American Economic Review, 2022
Conflict along transportation routes during Somalia’s al-Shabaab insurgency significantly increases maize prices at distant locations, decreasing food security, health, and education. Estimated conflict risk has strong price effects independently of realized conflict, highlighting the importance of safety concerns. A model of least-cost route choice in

Spatial spillovers in the development of institutions

Journal of Development Economics, 2008
Abstract We examine spatial spillovers in institutional development. Dependent variables are institutional measures reflecting politics, law, and governmental administration. The explanatory variable of interest is the level of institutions in bordering countries—a spatial lag of the dependent variable.

Separable spatial modeling of spillovers and disturbances

Journal of Geographical Systems, 2011
The single spatial parameter in the spatial autoregressive model affects both the estimation of spillovers and the estimation of spatial disturbances. Consequently, the spatial autoregressive model has the undesirable property that if the degree of spatial dependence in the disturbances differs from that in the spillovers, neither may be estimated ...

Military expenditures, economic growth and spatial spillovers

Defence and Peace Economics, 2014
The relationship between economic growth and military expenditure has been the subject of a large literature in defence economics. This study analyses the influence of military expenditures on economic growth in a global perspective for the time period 2000–2010 taking spatial dimension into account. The augmented Solow model is employed to investigate

Geographical Spillovers and University Research: A Spatial EconometricPerspective

Growth and Change, 2000
Using data for U.S. metropolitan statistical areas, an earlier study of aggregate local geographic research spillovers generated by universities (Anselin et al.1997) was extended to a sectorally disaggregated level. These findings suggest the existence of significant sectoral variation with respect to local university effects on innovation.

Spatial Structures and Spatial Spillovers: A GME Approach [PDF]

open access: possible, 2006
Spatial econometrics is a subdiscipline that have gained a huge popularity in the last twenty years, not only in theoretical econometrics but in empirical studies as well. Basically, spatial econometric methods measure spatial interaction and incorporate spatial structure into regression analysis.

QUANTIFYING KNOWLEDGE SPILLOVERS USING SPATIAL ECONOMETRIC MODELS

Journal of Regional Science, 2010
This paper seeks to develop our understanding of the somewhat diffuse nature of technological externalities and space by associating a geographical dimension with the sectoral dimension. Using a panel data set containing French patents as well as private and public research expenditures by industry and region over the period from 1992 to 2000, this ...
