Mode of Delivery and the Effectiveness of Foreign Aid: The Example of Missionary Work
2010
Conventional development aid, typically a service from government to government, has been a relatively poor determinant of economic growth or human development in developing countries. In this paper we test whether a distinctly grass-roots delivery mode, as is the case with missionary work, leads to a more effective dispersion of foreign aid. In addition to its mode of delivery, missionary work is also of interest as there is a known positive correlation between the growth rate of Christianity and economic development. We estimate the economic growth impacts of development aid versus missionary work variables by using empirical data from 119 countries and discuss several explanations for ou…
Interactions, spillovers de connaissance et croissance des économies modernes. Faut-il préférer la globalisation ou la proximité géographique ?
2009
Globalisation and metropolisation in modern economies induce some locational strategies of knowledge based activities towards cities and deeply increase trade and move of ideas across cities. In that context, we study the way knowledge spillovers have influenced the economic growth of 82 European Metropolises over the 1990-2005 period. We model knowledge spillovers across cities according to three specific interaction patterns depending either on geography or on global advanced services or thought a combination of these patterns. We show that the mixed pattern matters the best for economic growth of cities in Europe.
International R&D spillovers in the multi-country Schumpeterian growth model
2007
en ligne : http://ungaro.u-bourgogne.fr/pages/Documents%20de%20travail/Economie/e2007-04.pdf; Document de travail du LEG 2007-04; This paper reconsiders the multi-country Schumpeterian growth model and its empirical implications. We first show that the model implies a spatial econometric reduced form. Indeed, the global interdependence implied by international R&D spillovers needs to betaken into account in the theoretical model as well as in the empirical model. The spatial econometric model we propose includes the neoclassical growth model as a particular case. We can therefore test explicitly the role of R&D investment in the long run growth processagainst the Solow growth model which is…
