Institutional Spillovers and Economic Growth

Sustaining a Focus on Transformative Change.

As I reviewed Bev Simpson’s remarks for this focus on the Dorothy Wylie Health Leaders Institute, I was struck by how similar the current environment is to that which birthed the Institute in 2000. Sixteen years later, we are still trying to achieve transformative change in the healthcare system and leadership still needs our focused attention (Naylor 2016). To complicate the current picture, h...

Networks, Spillovers and Models of Economic Growth

In this paper we investigate the innovativeness of a network of firms, each of which can experience innovation spillovers (i.e. technological externalities) from its neighbours. A cellular automata framework is used to provide a new theoretical method for analysing such networks. Considering network spillovers produces a nonlinear relationship between the strength of spillovers and overall inno...

Economic Growth, Civil Wars, and Spatial Spillovers

The paper relies on a neoclassical growth model to empirically test for the influences of a civil war on steady-state income per capita both at home and in neighboring countries. Moreover, this model provides the basis for measuring long-run and short-run effects of civil wars on income per-capita growth in the host country and its neighbors. Evidence of significant collateral damage on economi...
