Investment in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT): The Role of Geographic Distance and Industry Proximity
Carboni, Oliviero A. - In: The Review of Regional Studies 43 (2013) 2,3, pp. 191-212
Employing data from Italian manufacturing firms, this paper attempts to check the existence of geographic and industry distance effects on the investment in information and communication technology (ICT). Geographic distance is defined by the Euclidean distance between each possible pair of...

Schumpeterian growth with technological interdependence : an application to US states
Deeken, Tim - 2015
In this paper, the Schumpeterian growth model developed by Ertur and Koch (2011) that includes spatial interactions between units of observation working via R&D spillovers is presented in detail. The implications of this model and three additional growth models with and without spatial...

Technological diffusion and productivity convergence across European regions: A spatial approach over the period 2000-2015
Manca, Fabio; Piroli, Giuseppe - 2021
What are the drivers of growth and convergence in productivity at regional level? Differences in the stock of human capital across regions are hypothesized to be the major cause of differences in the speed by which following regions converge and catch-up with the most advanced ones. In addition,...

A Spatial Analysis of R&D: the Role of Industry Proximity
Carboni, OA. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2012
This paper employs individual firm data in order to check the existence of industry-spatial effects alongside other microeconomic determinants of R&D investment. Spatial proximity is defined by a measure of firms’ industry distance based on trade intensity between sectors. The spatial model...
