Book Series Studies in Empirical Economics

Book Spatial Econometrics Methods and Applications

Chapter Introduction Most of the papers appearing in this book also appeared in a special issue of Empirical Economics on spatial econometrics. These papers were solicited from the International Workshop on Spatial Econometrics and S...

Chapter A generalized method of moments estimator for a spatial model with moving average errors, with application to real estate prices This paper proposes a new GMM estimator for spatial regression models with moving average errors. Monte Carlo results are given which suggest that the GMM estimates are consistent and robust to non-normality, ...

Chapter A class of spatial econometric methods in the empirical analysis of clusters of firms in the space In this paper we aim at identifying stylized facts in order to suggest adequate models for the co-agglomeration of industries in space. We describe a class of spatial statistical methods for the empirical anal...

Chapter Spatial shift-share analysis versus spatial filtering: an application to Spanish employment data The aim of this work is to analyse the influence of spatial effects in the evolution of regional employment, thus improving the explanation of the existing differences. With this aim, two non-parametric techni...

Chapter The impact of decentralization and inter-territorial interactions on Spanish health expenditure This paper examines the determinants of regional public health expenditure in a decentralised health system. Unlike previous studies we take into account possible policy and political interactions among author...

Chapter Regional evidence on financial development, finance term structure and growth The finance-growth nexus is a classic source of debate among economists. This paper offers regional evidence on this issue in order to determine whether it can fit the data on a 147-year-old economic union,Ita...

Chapter Locational choice and price competition: some empirical results for the austrian retail gasoline market Using data from the Austrian retail gasoline market we find that a higher station density reduces average prices. Market (i.e. ownership) concentration does not significantly affect average price, however is n...

Chapter Spatial and supply/demand agglomeration economies: State- and industry-linkages in the U.S. food system Cost-impacts of spatial and industrial spillovers on economic performance are evaluated by incorporating activity level measures for nearby states and related industries into a cost function model. We focus on...

Chapter Errors in variables and spatial effects in hedonic house price models of ambient air quality In the valuation of the effect of improved air quality through the estimation of hedonic models of house prices, the potential “errors in variables” aspect of the interpolated air pollution measures is often i...

Chapter Spatial analysis of urban growth in Spain, 1900–2001 The purpose of this paper is to improve the knowledge of the Spanish urban system. We study the evolution of population growth among the group of 722 municipalities included in the Spanish urban areas over the...

Chapter A spatially filtered mixture of β-convergence regressions for EU regions, 1980–2002 Assessing regional growth and convergence across Europe is a matter of primary relevance. Empirical models that do not account for structural heterogeneities and spatial effects may face serious misspecificati...

Chapter R&D spillovers and firms' performance in Italy Evidence from a flexible production function Using a translog production function we estimate the impact of R&D spillovers on the output performance of Italian manufacturing firms over the period 1998–2003. Technological flows are measured through an asy...

Chapter Convergence in per-capita GDP across European regions: a reappraisal This paper studies convergence in per-capita GDP across European regions over the period 1980–2000. We use median unbiased estimators of the rate of convergence to the steady-state growth path, while allowing ...

Chapter Dynamic spatial modelling of regional convergence processes Econometric analysis of convergence processes across countries or regions usually refers to a transition period between an arbitrary chosen starting year and a fictitious steady state. Panel unit root tests an...

Book High Frequency Financial Econometrics Recent Developments

Book The Economics of Education and Training

Chapter Editor's introduction: recent developments in high frequency financial econometrics This paragraph is a virtual copy of the one in p. 2 of Frisch's Editor Note on Econometrica Vol. 1, No. 1. The only difference is that economics has been replaced by finance, economic by financial, econometrics b...
