Do Regions with Entrepreneurial Neighbors Perform Better?: A Spatial Econometric Approach for German Regions

We use a neoclassical production function to analyze the effects of knowledge spillovers via entrepreneurship on economic performance of 337 German districts. To take the spatial dependence structure of the data into account, we estimate a spatial Durbin model. We highlight the importance of the choice of the appropriate weight matrix. We find positive knowledge spillover effects via entrepreneurship within a certain region. Between regions, entrepreneurship as a vehicle by which knowledge spills over and contributes to economic performance depends largely on the choice of the weight matrix. We see this as evidence for regionally bounded knowledge spillover effects via entrepreneurship.Entrepreneurship capital, regional output, spatial weight matrix

How rising and falling house prices spill over into other nearby regions.

Changes in house prices have a tendency to spill over from one region into another in a ripple effect. In new research Katharina Pijnenburg analyses whether these spill overs are uniform across space and time. Using data for 319 metropolitan statistical areas, she finds that house prices spill over more when house prices are increasing than when house prices are declining. She finds that this may be down to homeowners’ different behaviour when selling in times of falling house prices compared to times when they are increasing
