Spatial Spillovers

Spatial Spillovers

Autor: Amitrajeet A. Batabyal , Yoshiro Higano , Peter Nijkamp

Número de Páginas: 292

This edited book is the first to bring together in one place new theoretical and empirical evidence as well as case studies about spatial spillovers, with a particular focus on spillovers in Asia. In the context of this book, spatial spillovers are locally bounded and territorially rooted interactions between one or more economic agents and their environments. They are salient because they affect regional economic growth and development. Specifically, the individual chapters in this book shed light on the different kinds of spatial spillovers witnessed in Asian regions, particularly those that derive from the acquisition and transfer of knowledge, those that arise from horizontal or vertical industrial interactions, and those that come about because of economic growth. The book departs from the existing literature in three ways. First, the book explicitly recognizes that different kinds of spatial spillovers have dissimilar impacts on the lives and therefore on the welfare of the residents of different regions. Second, the book emphasizes the varied dimensions of the interactions and the ways in which these dimensions influence different societies. Third, this book demonstrates...

Shocked: Electricity Price Volatility Spillovers in Europe

Shocked: Electricity Price Volatility Spillovers in Europe

Autor: Mr. Serhan Cevik , Yueshu Zhao

Número de Páginas: 22

European electricity markets are in the midst of unprecedented changes—caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the rise of renewable sources of energy. Using high-frequency data, this paper investigates volatility spillovers across 24 countries in the European Union (EU) during the period 2014–2024 to provide a better understanding of the transmission of risks in an international context. We develop both a static and a dynamic assessment of spillover effects and directional decomposition between individual countries. Our main findings show that about 73 percent of the forecast error variation is explained by cross-variance shares, which means only 27 percent can be attributed to shocks within each country. In other words, cross-border volatility spillovers dominate the behavior in national electricity markets in Europe—and this effect has grown over time. We also implement an augmented gravity model of bilateral volatility spillovers across power markets in the EU. Altogether, these results provide important insights to policymakers and regulators with regards to greater integration of electricity markets and infrastructure improvements that would also help with the...

Handbook of Gender Research in Psychology

Handbook of Gender Research in Psychology

Autor: Joan C. Chrisler , Donald R. Mccreary

Número de Páginas: 835

Donald R. McCreary and Joan C. Chrisler The Development of Gender Studies in Psychology Studies of sex differences are as old as the ?eld of psychology, and they have been conducted in every sub?eld of the discipline. There are probably many reasons for the popularity of these studies, but three reasons seem to be most prominent. First, social psychological studies of person perception show that sex is especially salient in social groups. It is the ?rst thing people notice about others, and it is one of the things we remember best (Fiske, Haslam, & Fiske, 1991; Stangor, Lynch, Duan, & Glass, 1992). For example, people may not remember who uttered a witty remark, but they are likely to remember whether the quip came from a woman or a man. Second, many people hold ?rm beliefs that aspects of physiology suit men and women for particular social roles. Men’s greater upper body strength makes them better candidates for manual labor, and their greater height gives the impression that they would make good leaders (i. e. , people we look up to). Women’s reproductive capacity and the caretaking tasks (e. g. , breastfeeding, baby minding) that accompany it make them seem suitable for...

Trade Specialisation, Technology and Economic Growth

Trade Specialisation, Technology and Economic Growth

Autor: Keld Laursen

Número de Páginas: 224

How does Ricardian specialisation affect economic development in relatively advanced countries? Keld Laursen, inspired by the myriad newly-emergent neoclassical/new industrial economics contributions, makes a detailed study of the role of specialisation and structural change in advanced economies. Until now, these theoretical contributions have not been subjected to a systematic empirical investigation. The three key questions are: Do countries converge or diverge in terms of their specialisation patterns over time? Can the role of technology explain the direction of national trade specialisation? What are the implications of international specialisation patterns (and their changes) for economic growth? This study will be of immense interest to postgraduates and researchers working on theories and practices of innovation, trade, and growth.
