Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, Volume 88, Issue 2, Page 213-225, April 2026.ABSTRACT We propose a multilevel econometric model with time‐varying spillover parameters that disentangle within‐country from between‐country growth spillovers. Parameter estimation is carried out by the method of maximum likelihood. The finite‐sample properties of the resulting estimates are validated through a Monte Carlo study.
