This paper empirically estimates the impact of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) on economic growth across European regions. The narrative of this paper is based on the convergence club hypothesis. In this context, we implement the data-driven Phillips and Sul test to classify European regions into endogenously identified convergence clubs that tend to converge to different steady-state equilibria. We find three substantially different convergence clubs in terms of both per capita output and spatial location: capital cities and metropolitan areas (along the so-called “Blue Banana”), core countries, and the periphery. We observe a persistent core-periphery pattern in terms of output per capita among European regions with different rates of convergence. The convergence club comprising capital cities and metropolitan areas converges almost four times faster than the rest of the EU. Subsequently, we estimate club-specific growth regressions to investigate the impact of ESIF expenditures on short-run economic growth. Our main identification strategy relies on two instrumental variables, namely the spatial lag of EFSI expenditures-to-GDP and the air distance to Brussels, to address a strong endogeneity problem in strongly biased relationship between ESIF expenditures-to-GDP and short-run economic growth. Our results indicate a positive impact of ESIF expenditures-to-GDP on short-run economic growth in the second (core) and third (periphery) convergence clubs, with the impact being twice as large in the latter compared to the former. These results remain robust when adjusting the growth regressions to use ESIF expenditures-to-population instead of ESIF expenditures-to-GDP, although the pronounced difference in effect magnitude among convergence clubs diminishes.

本文以实证方法估算了欧洲结构与投资基金(ESIF)对欧洲各地区经济增长的影响。本文的论述基于趋同俱乐部假说。在此背景下,我们采用数据驱动的菲利普斯和苏尔检验法,将欧洲地区划分为内生确定的趋同俱乐部,这些俱乐部倾向于趋同于不同的稳态均衡。我们发现,就人均产出和空间位置而言,有三个大不相同的趋同俱乐部:首都和大都市区(沿着所谓的 "蓝色香蕉")、核心国家和外围地区。我们观察到,在人均产出方面,不同趋同速度的欧洲地区持续存在核心-外围模式。由首都和大都市组成的趋同俱乐部的趋同速度几乎是欧盟其他地区的四倍。随后,我们估计了特定俱乐部的增长回归,以研究 ESIF 支出对短期经济增长的影响。我们的主要识别策略依赖于两个工具变量,即 EFSI 支出占 GDP 比重的空间滞后和到布鲁塞尔的空中距离,以解决 ESIF 支出占 GDP 比重与短期经济增长之间存在强烈偏差的关系中存在的严重内生性问题。我们的研究结果表明,ESIF 支出与 GDP 之比对第二(核心)和第三(外围)趋同俱乐部的短期经济增长有积极影响,后者的影响是前者的两倍。如果调整增长回归,使用 ESIF 支出与人口的比例而不是 ESIF 支出与国内生产总值的比例,这些结果仍然是稳健的,尽管各趋同俱乐部之间在影响幅度上的明显差异有所缩小。

The shale boom of the early 21st century turned the U.S. into an energy powerhouse and significantly disrupted local economies with shale resources. This study examines the impacts of the U.S. shale boom on regional patenting at a commuting zone level. The shale boom may negatively affect patents if it crowds out labor and capital investments in other non-energy industries. Our findings show that a one standard deviation increase in non-vertical well density decreases patent intensity by 3.74% of the mean. Areas with higher drilling densities have lower levels of patented innovation compared to their counterfactuals. This paper contributes to the existing literature related to the “natural resource curse.” We provide new evidence based on regional patenting, which is an important indicator for regional innovation and long-term economic growth.

21 世纪初的页岩热潮将美国变成了能源强国,也极大地扰乱了拥有页岩资源的地方经济。本研究从通勤区的层面研究了美国页岩热潮对地区专利申请的影响。如果页岩热潮挤占了其他非能源行业的劳动力和资本投资,则可能对专利产生负面影响。我们的研究结果表明,非垂直钻井密度每增加一个标准差,专利密集度就会减少平均值的 3.74%。与反事实相比,钻井密度较高的地区专利创新水平较低。本文对与 "自然资源诅咒 "相关的现有文献有所贡献。我们提供了基于地区专利申请的新证据,专利申请是地区创新和长期经济增长的重要指标。

In the last decade, many studies discussed the impact of intangible investment on firms' performance. However, comparing the effect of different types of intangible investments at regional and sectoral level is not well explored. The paper aims to fill this gap by assessing the impact of several intangible capital on labor productivity using for the first-time updated data for the period 2000–2019. Adopting panel data techniques and system GMM, the results show that regions with higher endowments of intangible capital get higher levels of labor productivity. The study results also highlight the importance of differentiating between different sectors and types of intangible capital as they have different impact on productivity labor. In the primary sector only investments in R&D result in additional productivity gains. In the manufacturing industry, investments in R&D and software result in additional productivity gains while the service sector also increases labor productivity through other intangibles assets with innovative property such as mineral exploration, entertainment, and artistic originals.

在过去十年中,许多研究讨论了无形投资对企业绩效的影响。然而,在地区和部门层面比较不同类型的无形投资的影响还没有得到很好的探讨。本文首次使用 2000-2019 年的最新数据,评估了几种无形资本对劳动生产率的影响,旨在填补这一空白。采用面板数据技术和系统 GMM,研究结果表明,无形资本禀赋较高的地区劳动生产率水平较高。研究结果还强调了区分不同部门和无形资本类型的重要性,因为它们对劳动生产率的影响各不相同。在第一产业中,只有研发投资能带来额外的生产率提高。在制造业,研发和软件投资会带来额外的生产率提高,而服务业也会通过其他具有创新属性的无形资产(如矿产勘探、娱乐和艺术原创)提高劳动生产率。

Growth of Green Total Factor Productivity in China: “Structural Dividend” or “Reform Dividend”? 中国绿色全要素生产率的增长:"结构红利 "还是 "改革红利"?

It is critical for promoting high-quality economic development to improve green total factor productivity (GTFP). The “structural dividend” released by the optimization of economic structure and the “reform dividend” brought by market-oriented reform are the two ways to improve GTFP. This paper empirically examines the impact of economic structural changes and marketization progress on GTFP with the spatial dynamic panel model based on the provincial data from 2001 to 2019 in China. The findings are as follows. (1) GTFP is characterized by significant spatial clustering and spatial positive correlation in China. (2) The optimization of economic structure and the improvement of marketization both have significant positive contributions to the improvement of GTFP. (3) The results of effect decomposition show that the optimization of economic structure has a long-term effect on the increase of local GTFP, but only a short-term effect on the surrounding areas. However, the improvement of marketization has a stable short-term and long-term impact on the improvement of local GTFP, while the impact on the surrounding areas is only reflected in the long-term. The results of heterogeneity analysis indicate that the impact of economic structure optimization and market-oriented reform on GTFP is different in different periods and regions, and the corresponding effect decomposition results are also different. Therefore, this paper suggests that it is necessary to optimize the economic structure further and promote market-oriented reforms to release the structural dividends and reform dividends to achieve GTFP growth.

提高绿色全要素生产率(GTFP)是推动经济高质量发展的关键。经济结构优化释放的 "结构红利 "和市场化改革带来的 "改革红利 "是提高全要素生产率的两条途径。本文基于2001-2019年中国各省数据,利用空间动态面板模型实证检验了经济结构变化和市场化进程对GTFP的影响。研究结果如下(1)中国 GTFP 具有显著的空间集聚和空间正相关特征。(2)经济结构的优化和市场化程度的提高都对GTFP的提高有显著的正向促进作用。(3)效应分解结果表明,经济结构优化对当地 GTFP 的提高有长期效应,但对周边地区只有短期效应。然而,市场化程度的提高对当地 GTFP 的提高具有稳定的短期和长期影响,而对周边地区的影响只体现在长期方面。异质性分析结果表明,不同时期、不同地区经济结构优化和市场化改革对GTFP的影响不同,相应的效应分解结果也不同。因此,本文认为有必要进一步优化经济结构,推进市场化改革,释放结构红利和改革红利,实现 GTFP 增长。

Contrary to the existing literature that suggests the inhibitory or facilitating effect of housing prices on entrepreneurial dynamism, this paper explores the nonlinear effect of housing prices on entrepreneurship and countervailing effect of entrepreneurial dynamism on housing prices, in addition to investigating the spatial interaction between the two. This paper constructs a simultaneous equation model (SEM) to empirically test the interaction and spillover effects between housing prices and entrepreneurial dynamism. The results show that: (1) there is a two-way interaction between housing prices and entrepreneurial dynamism; (2) the estimated coefficients of housing prices and the quadratic square term of housing prices (14.285 and −0.744, respectively) are consistent and significant as expected, indicating an inverted U-shaped effect of housing prices on entrepreneurial dynamism; and (3) in geospatial terms, there are positive spatial spillovers and negative spatial interaction effects for both house prices and entrepreneurial dynamism in Yangtze River Delta cities.

现有文献认为房价对创业活力具有抑制或促进作用,与此相反,本文探讨了房价对创业的非线性影响以及创业活力对房价的反作用,此外还研究了两者之间的空间互动关系。本文构建了一个同步方程模型(SEM),实证检验了住房价格与创业活力之间的相互作用和溢出效应。结果表明(1)房价与创业活力之间存在双向互动;(2)房价与房价二次平方项的估计系数(分别为 14.285 和-0.744)与预期一致且显著,表明房价对创业活力存在倒 U 型效应;(3)从地理空间上看,长三角城市房价与创业活力均存在正的空间溢出效应和负的空间互动效应。

This paper investigates the effect of administrative level on local economic growth from the perspective of officials' rank. We notice an interesting phenomenon that higher-ranking local officials (HRO) serve in cities with lower administrative level, can effectively improve economic performance similar to the effect of promoting administrative level of local government. Based on prefecture-level city data from 2001 to 2019, we find that HRO can significantly promote local economic growth, especially in cities with lower levels of development. The mechanism analysis shows that the HRO cities not only could receive upper-level government's favoritism but also tend to shape good business environment to attract investment. Further, HRO is a softer and shorter way than a formal change of regional administrative level, with less negative impact on the surrounding regions. The results provide new evidence that raising administrative level promotes regional development.

本文从官员级别的角度研究了行政级别对地方经济增长的影响。我们注意到一个有趣的现象,即级别较高的地方官员(HRO)在行政级别较低的城市任职,可以有效改善经济绩效,类似于提升地方政府行政级别的效果。基于 2001 年至 2019 年的地级市数据,我们发现高官办能显著促进地方经济增长,尤其是在发展水平较低的城市。机制分析表明,"人头户 "城市不仅能获得上级政府的青睐,而且往往能塑造良好的营商环境,吸引投资。此外,与正式的地区行政级别变更相比,"高改 "是一种更柔和、更短的方式,对周边地区的负面影响更小。这些结果为提高行政级别促进地区发展提供了新的证据。

It is of great significance to explore the causality between regional integration (RI) and PM2.5 pollution within urban agglomerations in the current pursuit of ecological civilization construction and high-quality development. Using panel data of 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2016, this study considers the expansion of the city economic coordination committee in Yangtze River Delta (YRDECC) as a quasi-natural experiment of RI, and use a difference-in difference method to explore the effect and inner mechanisms of RI on PM2.5 concentration. After a descriptive analysis of the spatial-temporal variation trend of the PM2.5 concentration in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the empirical results show that RI helps to alleviate 4.8% of the PM2.5 concentration overall. For the original cities, the reduction effect on the PM2.5 concentration is 5.2%, for the new cities, however, RI exacerbates 2.1% of the local PM2.5 concentration. A series of robustness tests confirm the validity of the baseline results, and further indicate that the effect of RI remains significant in the long term and starts to increase from the third year. Furthermore, the reduction effect of RI on PM2.5 concentration is more pronounced in cities with larger scales, more developed economies, and higher degrees of marketization. The mechanism analysis shows that industrial transfer, population migration and technological innovation are significant channels of RI that affect PM2.5 concentrations. The conclusions of this paper provide a new path to alleviate PM2.5 pollution and achieve ecological conservation and high-quality development in the city cluster area.

在追求生态文明建设和高质量发展的今天,探讨区域一体化(RI)与城市群内PM2.5污染之间的因果关系具有重要意义。本研究利用2003-2016年中国285个地级市的面板数据,将长三角城市经济协调会扩容作为区域一体化的准自然实验,采用差分法探讨区域一体化对PM2.5浓度的影响及内在机制。在对长三角城市群 PM2.5 浓度的时空变化趋势进行描述性分析后,实证结果表明,RI 整体上有助于缓解 4.8%的 PM2.5 浓度。对原有城市而言,PM2.5浓度的降低效果为5.2%,而对新城市而言,RI则加剧了当地PM2.5浓度的2.1%。一系列稳健性测试证实了基线结果的正确性,并进一步表明,从长期来看,区域一体化的影响仍然显著,并从第三年开始增加。此外,在规模较大、经济较发达、市场化程度较高的城市,区域一体化对 PM2.5 浓度的降低效果更为明显。机理分析表明,产业转移、人口迁移和技术创新是区域一体化影响 PM2.5 浓度的重要渠道。本文的结论为城市群地区缓解PM2.5污染、实现生态保护和高质量发展提供了新的路径。

Big socio-economic well-being gap is common across countries and regions. This study examines the impact of tourism on socio-economic well-being and its convergence from a comprehensive and inter-regional convergence perspective. Using panel data of 291 cities during the period 2005–2019, we provide the comprehensive evaluation of socio-economic well-being at the city scale in China. Considering the dynamic characteristics of socio-economic well-being, we therefore estimate the impact using the system generalized method of moments. The result indicates that tourism significantly enhances local socio-economic well-being and is found to be robust. We also find the dominance of domestic tourism, the positive moderator effects of general budget expenditure, GDP per capita and urbanization, and a greater driving force in cities with higher socio-economic well-being. Since both β- and σ-convergence hold, we confirm the positive effect of tourism on the convergence of inter-regional socio-economic well-being. We emphasize policies support for tourism development in underdeveloped regions through fiscal expenditure, financial transfer payments, intellectual support, urbanization, and infrastructure construction. We suggest incorporating tourism into frameworks such as rural revitalization and regional coordinated development. We also recommend accelerating the expansion of tourism in underdeveloped regions and enhancing the quality of tourism in developed regions as spatial strategies, while emphasizing inter-regional tourism coordination and cooperation.

巨大的社会经济福祉差距是各国和各地区的普遍现象。本研究从综合和区域间趋同的角度,考察了旅游业对社会经济福祉的影响及其趋同性。利用 2005-2019 年间 291 个城市的面板数据,对中国城市尺度的社会经济福利进行综合评价。考虑到社会经济福利的动态特征,我们采用系统广义矩法对其影响进行了估计。结果表明,旅游业极大地提升了当地的社会经济福利,并且具有稳健性。我们还发现,国内旅游占据主导地位,一般预算支出、人均 GDP 和城市化具有正向调节效应,社会经济福利较高的城市具有更大的推动力。由于 β 趋同和 σ 趋同均成立,我们证实了旅游业对区域间社会经济福利趋同的积极影响。我们强调通过财政支出、金融转移支付、智力支持、城市化和基础设施建设等政策支持欠发达地区的旅游业发展。我们建议将旅游业纳入乡村振兴和区域协调发展等框架。我们还建议将加快欠发达地区旅游业扩张和提升发达地区旅游业质量作为空间战略,同时强调区域间旅游业协调与合作。

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 482 regions from 2003 to 2014, we use the Spatial Durbin Model with spatial fixed effects to control spatial dependence and heterogeneity across regions. The results point to a positive association between our measures of innovation and wage inequalities. However, as we found a non-linear relationship between imports of capital goods and wage inequality, an increase in imports of capital goods may reduce wage inequality. Other variables may also cause inequality to fall, such as the share of the population with a higher education degree and social skills. Drivers behind an increase in inequality are female participation in the workforce and the level of GDP per capita.

创新可通过不同渠道导致工资不平等。本文探讨了这种关系,重点是这些渠道对巴西各地区个人工资不平等的直接和溢出(间接)效应。产品创新和流程创新分别通过专利和通过进口资本货物获取外国技术来衡量。基于 2003 年至 2014 年覆盖 482 个地区的数据,我们使用空间杜宾模型和空间固定效应来控制各地区的空间依赖性和异质性。结果表明,我们的创新措施与工资不平等之间存在正相关。然而,由于我们发现资本货物进口与工资不平等之间存在非线性关系,资本货物进口的增加可能会减少工资不平等。其他变量也可能导致不平等现象的减少,如拥有高等教育学位和社会技能的人口比例。不平等加剧的驱动因素是女性劳动力参与率和人均国内生产总值水平。
