Evaluation of innovative thermal insulation systems for a sustainable envelope

2017

La memoria presenta i risultati ottenuti su sistemi di isolamento termico per l’involucro edilizio. Si presentano i risultati ottenuti tramite simulazioni informatiche che hanno consentito di verificare e ottimizzare la trasmissione del calore attraverso un sistema sottovuoto in vetro per le facciate trasparenti. Inoltre la possibilità offerta dal riciclo del materiale di scarto della potatura dell’Opunthia Ficus Indica (fichi d’india) che,opportunamente trattato ha permesso di ottenere un materiale isolante (Brevetto n. 1402131), in forma di pannello o in grani sfusi, (valori di coibenza termica 0.071­0.057 W/mK). The paper presents the results of the research on thermal insulation systems…

Microfinance beyond self-employment: Evidence for firms in Bulgaria

2017

This paper provides new evidence on the impact of microfinance on job creation beyond self-employment. We examine wage-employment effects for a typical program in Eastern Europe with average loan sizes that are considerably above what has been studied so far. We apply propensity score matching extended by a difference-in-differences estimator to panel data from an individual-lending program to firms in Bulgaria. Our results indicate that microcredit has very positive effects on job creation. Participating firms have on average 2.5 (or 33 percent) more employees two years after receiving a microcredit than matched non-participants. This strong effect seems to be related to a certain loan siz…

On the relationship between knowledge creation and economic performance

2015

An empirical two-equation dynamic panel-data model system with fixed effects is proposed to analyze the relationship between knowledge creation and economic performance across regions over time. Estimates of the model for Spanish regions show that (i) knowledge creation depends on local R&D effort, on the amount of knowledge in use, and on knowledge creation in neighboring regions; and (ii) assimilation of new knowledge depends on local knowledge creation and on assimilation of knowledge in neighboring regions. Both processes include region-specific context fixed effects and region-specific time effects, representing region-specific dynamic influences. The results imply that (a) efficie…

Mannheimer Innovationspanel (MIP), Scientific-Use-Files der Jahre 1993-2016

2018

Das ZEW erhebt seit 1993 jährlich Daten zum Innovationsverhalten der deutschen Wirtschaft. Die Innovationserhebung deckt die Bereiche Bergbau, verarbeitendes Gewerbe, Energie, Baugewerbe, unternehmensnahe Dienstleistungen und distributive Dienstleistungen ab. Sie ist für Deutschland repräsentativ und ermöglicht Hochrechnung für die deutsche Wirtschaft insgesamt sowie für einzelne Branchengruppen. Es wird im Auftrag des BMBF und in Kooperation mit infas und dem Fraunhofer-ISI durchgeführt. Das MIP ist gleichzeitig der deutsche Beitrag zu den Community Innovation Surveys (CIS) der Europäischen Kommission. Die jährliche Innovationserhebung ist als Panelbefragung konzipiert. Dabei werden jedes …

Panel Summary: Behavioural Models

1997

The aim of this paper is to report the panel discussion on behavioural models of human or machine agents interacting with the environment. In particular the following hot points will been analysed: a framework for describing behaviour; learning and evolution; closure and teleonomy when it comes to behaviour; the perception-learning-planning loop; the information integration at the (pre)attentive level; knowing by acting and knowing by computing.

Executive Incentive Compensation and Economic Prosperity

2008

This paper analyzes the existence of a potential link between the prevalence of long term incentive compensation schemes and the economic prosperity of a country. This issue is previously not addressed in the literature. In a panel regression with fixed effects a strongly significant, positive effect is found between growth of GDP/capita in real terms and this prevalence, while controlling for general investment and institutional variables. However, when the 22 countries of the study are divided into European and non-European, the growth effect found for the entire material accrues only to the non-European countries. It is concluded that long term incentive contracts seem to have no effect …

Total Factor Productivity Convergence Amongst Italian Regions: Some Evidence from Panel Unit Root Tests

2009

Byrne J. P., Fazio G. and Piacentino D. Total factor productivity convergence among Italian regions: some evidence from panel unit root tests. Regional Studies. This paper employs panel unit root tests to investigate convergence in total factor productivity (TFP) among Italian regions. These tests provide an inference valid in the presence of heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, and when the cross-sectional dimension is smaller than the time dimension, allowing the investigation of convergence among different subsets of regions. The results add a further dimension to the conventional view on growth dynamics in the Italian peninsula depicting a lack of regional TFP convergence not o…

Technological and knowledge diffusion link: An international perspective 1870–2019

2021

Abstract Technology diffusion is a necessary but not sufficient condition for knowledge diffusion. Technological waves' impact on education differs across educational levels. We use data for 104 countries on technology diffusion and education from 1870 to 2019. We find six technology waves from 1870 to 2019 had a substantial and statistically significant educational attainment impact using fixed panel data modeling. The impact differs across time and regions, with the most noticeable impact in Advanced economies and Eastern Europe. Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East, and North Africa are catching up with lagging Sub-Saharan Africa. The transportation revoluti…
