Why does the effectiveness of European innovation policies fail to enhance business performance in Galicia (Spain)
This study examines the extent to which European funding aimed at fostering innovation in a peripheral and convergence objective region such as Galicia (Spain) has leaked into more economically developed areas. We test the hypothesis of lack of resources efficiency in this region. With this aim, we assess the impact of these funds on key business innovation indicators in Galicia, including revenue, gross value added, employment, profitability and…
Threshold effects of agglomeration on local business taxation
In the foot-loose capital (FC) models, it is predicted that agglomeration forces create rents for the mobile factor (capital), which can be easily taxed, and therefore higher equilibrium tax rates are expected. In this paper, a highly flexible econometric specification (P-Spline spatial autoregressive model, PS-SAR) is used to examine the relationship between tax rates and agglomeration economies in Spain over the period 2013–2020. The existence …

Firm location, regional weather conditions and bid pricing strategies in the Colombian wholesale electricity market
Weather conditions in Colombia vary greatly throughout the territory. This fact, in the context of Colombian wholesale electricity, plays a key role in the bid pricing strategies and intensity of the strategic behaviour among plants. We estimate a dynamic spatial Durbin model to factor in the effects weather conditions have on bid pricing. The results show how energy inputs become critical for setting bid prices, a fact that is reinforced by the …
European Union regional policy and development in Spain
Total factor productivity (TFP) in Spain over the period 1989–2010 has followed a decreasing trend. This paper explores to what degree the transport infrastructure investments financed with European Union Structural Funds (ERDF) and Cohesion Funds (CF) including the compulsory national cofunding (EUINFP) prevented TFP over this period from falling further. It estimates an augmented Mankiw–Romer–Weil model for the 17 Spanish regions over the perio…
Market Potential, Spatial Dependences and Spillovers in European Regions
Bruna F., Lopez-Rodriguez J. and Faíña A. Market potential, spatial dependences and spillovers in European regions, Regional Studies. This paper reinterprets the new economic geography (NEG) ‘wage’ equation by distinguishing two different types of spatial dependences: a global spatial trend and local spatial autocorrelation. A measure of the variable Market Potential in this equation can capture both a global core–periphery pattern and spillovers…
Economic Remoteness and Wage Disparities in Romania
This paper looks at the link between wage disparities and market access for the Romanian regions. First, we derive an econometric specification which relates the income levels of a particular location with a weighted sum of the volume of economic activities of the surrounding locations (market access). Then, empirically, we estimate this econometric specification for a sample of 42 Romanian regions in the year 2006. The results show that market a…
Gasto público en salud, crecimiento económico y elasticidad de sustitución
Este artículo estudia el efecto que el gasto público en salud tiene en el crecimiento económico, mediante la estimación de la elasticidad de sustitución en una función de producción CES para la economía española en el periodo 1985-2003. Los resultados del trabajo demuestran que cuanto mayor sea el esfuerzo de la Administración Pública en proveer una mayor cobertura social en salud, mayor será la elasticidad de sustitución entre los factores de pr…
Nueva Geografía Económica
En este trabajo se analizan los desarrollos empíricos que han abordado la estimación de la ecuación nominal de salarios dentro de los modelos de Nueva Geografía Económica. Los resultados de los trabajos empíricos realizados para una muestra mundial de países y al interior de la Unión Europea confirman las predicciones teóricas de los modelos, mostrando que las variables de geografía económica son clave para explicar la estructura espacial de sala…
