ABSTRACT This editorial summarises the papers in issue 18(3) (2023). The first article examines the balloon effect, the shift of production of illicit crops to other areas upon regulatory enforcement. The second paper tests for the existence of innovation spillover effects on firm survival. The third paper analyses the impact of lockdown policy measures on the daily use of mobile phone broadband through a quasi-experimental econometric model with 15 different treatment dummies. The fourth paper examines to what extent the economic effect of lockdowns in different regions and countries interact with each other and the extent to which policy coordination of these interactions influences the overall economic effect. The fifth and sixth papers develop spatial extensions of the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model (ARCH) to explain US house price returns.

ABSTRACT We study the relationship between academic performance of students in higher education and the decision to migrate. We focus on the case of Colombia due to the good availability of data on standardised tests for students in higher and secondary education. We exploit this information following an empirical strategy that allows us to identify the existence of negative effects associated with the decision to migrate, controlling for potential academic benefits of migration, such as belonging to better social networks in the receiving cities of migrants. These negative effects are associated with the psychological and financial costs that students face when migrating. Similarly, we follow a novel strategy by controlling for potential commuter students who are not identified in the sample, or who may be misclassified as migrants. These robustness exercises show that the result found previously is maintained, which is favourable to the hypothesis of the existence of negative effects associated with migration on academic performance. This result is relevant for the elaboration of educational policies in developing countries.

ABSTRACT This study analyses whether higher efficiency performance of Ecuadorian hospitals attracts larger inflows of interregional patients to a given hospital and assesses the existence of spatial dependence in the patient migration network. We develop an innovative two-stage approach. In the first stage, we use conditional order-m estimations to obtain robust hospital efficiency. In the second stage, we apply a spatial Durbin interaction model to estimate the effect of hospital efficiency on patient migration flows and disentangle the spillover effects. We identify the positive effect of specialized hospitals’ efficiency in attracting patients from other regions alongside spillover effects in the migration dyad.

ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationships among skilled human capital, skilled wages, and growing early-stage (GE) business activity at the level of functional regions in Chile, and assesses the role of external and local skilled human capital accretion. Based on theories of occupational-choice and heterogeneous entrepreneurship in economics, we estimate count-data econometric models of the regional number of growing early-stage businesses that account for the endogeneity of skilled wages. Skilled human capital accretion increases regional growing early-stage businesses activity, while skilled wages deter it. Changes in local skilled human capital explain regional differences in growing early-stage businesses activity, whereas the effect of changes in external skilled human capital is less clear.

ABSTRACT The monitoring of the regional (provincial) economic situation is of particular importance due to the high level of heterogeneity and interdependences among different territories. Although econometric models allow for spatial and serial correlation of various kinds, the limited availability of territorial data restricts the set of relevant predictors at a more disaggregated level, especially for gross domestic product (GDP). Combining data from different sources at NUTS-3 level, this paper evaluates the predictive performance of a spatial dynamic panel data model with individual fixed effects and some relevant exogenous regressors, by using data on total gross value added (GVA) for 103 Italian provinces over the period 2000–2016. A comparison with nested panel sub-specifications as well as pure temporal autoregressive specifications has also been included. The main finding is that the spatial dynamic specification increases forecast accuracy more than its competitors throughout the out-of-sample, recognising an important role played by both space and time. However, when temporal cointegration is detected, the random-walk specification is still to be preferred in some cases even in the presence of short panels.
