Diego Puga
- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cross-border transport infrastructure in the presence of agglomeration eco- nomies are discussed. And the authors show that cross border infrastructure is more likely to increase than to decrease inequalities between and within regions, and has not helped regional convergence.

Absorptive capacity: a new perspective on learning and innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovative capabilities.
Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity, which is essentially a competitive equilibrium model with endogenous technological change.

Endogenous Technological Change
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the stock of human capital determines the rate of growth, that too little human capital is devoted to research in equilibrium, that integration into world markets will increase growth rates, and that having a large population is not sufficient to generate growth.

Increasing Returns and Economic Geography
TL;DR: This paper developed a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized core and an agricultural periphery, in which manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing.
