Innovation and wage inequalities: Evidence from Brazilian regions Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Bianca Villamarim de Oliveira, Eduardo Gonçalves, Juliana Gonçalves Taveira
Innovation can lead to wage inequalities through different channels. This paper explores this relationship, focusing on the direct and spillover (indirect) effects of these channels on personal wage inequalities in Brazilian regions. Product and process innovation are measured by patents and the acquisition of foreign technology through imports of capital goods respectively. Based on data that covers

Fertility divergence across large and small areas Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-26 Xiaoyin Li, John V. Winters
This paper examines U.S. female fertility during 2005–2019. Small areas had higher fertility rates than large metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) during each year. Both experienced fertility declines between 2005 and 2019. However, decreased fertility was more pronounced for large MSAs, and the fertility gap between large and small areas widened considerably. Investigation by age group reveals that

How do university‐industry collaborations benefit innovation? Direct and indirect outcomes of different collaboration types Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Utku Ali Rıza Alpaydın, Rune Dahl Fitjar
This paper explores the extent to which firms perceive to benefit from university‐industry collaborations in their innovation processes, building on survey data from 232 Norwegian firms. We find that firms experience not only direct innovation benefits from collaborations, but also indirect benefits in the form of closer proximity to universities, which can in turn improve future collaboration. We

Regional development policy in Galilee periphery in Israel Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Herscovici Arie, Akirav Osnat
In Israel, regional clusters serve as a mechanism for regional development, achieved through the integration of interests, pooling of resources, knowledge transfer, and the facilitation of agglomerations. This study gains insights from two EU regional development programs, LEADER and URBACT, to potentially benefit the regional clusters in Galilee, Israel's northern periphery. The research examined

Economic resilience focuses on how localities react and respond to shocks. A recent conceptual advancement, known as the agency perspective and rooted in evolutionary thinking, highlights that economic actors (e.g., practitioners, firms, and institutions) play an essential role in localities' resilience. However, empirical investigations into the role of economic actors have been scarce. To address

Domestic or export: What is basic at the NUTS 2 regional level? A spatial endogenous regional growth model applied in the EU Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Pascal Ricordel
A common statement found in regional policy reports is that regional growth is an “export or die” issue. However, the succession of disruptions in the international supply chain has highlighted the crucial roles of domestic activities, local markets and short supply chains, turning the environmental and resilience challenge present in growth policy into a “domestic or die” issue. Recent regional growth

Addressing spatial dependence when estimating technical efficiency: A spatialized data envelopment analysis of regional productive performance in the European Union Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Julián Ramajo, Miguel A. Márquez, Geoffrey J. D. Hewings
Applying a spatialized data envelopment analysis, this paper estimates and analyzes the efficiency of European Union NUTS-2 regions during the period 2000–2014. The space-dependent efficiency scores estimated with the proposed model show a bimodal distribution that is not detected by the aspatial approach. The results confirm the crucial role of location of production units, offering important new

Agglomeration factors and the geography of growing early-stage businesses in Chile Growth and Change (IF 2.9) Pub Date : 2023-09-06 Félix Modrego, Miguel Atienza, Leónidas Hernández
New models of agglomeration cast the urban productivity premium as the outcome of agglomeration economies, a spatial sorting of skilled entrepreneurs and greater selection effects leading to less, but more productive businesses. We provide descriptive evidence of the spatial distribution of growing early-stage businesses in Chile that concurs with the theory. We show, first, that while business entry
