报告题目：Regions, technological interdependence and growth 

报 告 人： Professor Manfred M. Fischer, Vienna University of Economics and Business 

Abstract：We considers the standard neoclassical growth model in a Mankiw-Romer-Weil world with spatial externalities across regions. The reduced form of this theoretical model and its associated empirical model lead to a spatial Durbin model, and this model provides very rich own- and cross-partial derivatives that quantify the magnitude of direct and indirect (spillover or externalities) effects that arise from changes in region’s characteristics at the outset in the theoretical model. Using the scalar summary impact measures introduced by LeSage and Pace (2009) we can quantify and summarize the complicated set of non-linear impacts that fall on all regions as a result of changes in the physical and human capital in any region. We can decompose these impacts into direct and indirect (or externality) effects. The results reveal that technological interdependence among regions works through physical capital externalities crossing regional borders.
