This paper assesses whether the linkages between R&D, human capital and productivity growth in a panel of EU manufacturing industries over the period 1980-2002 are affected by a critical level of human capital. To employ our data in an efficient manner, the study makes use of a dynamic threshold-based analysis, which determines endogenously the sample splitting procedure. The estimates indicate...

This paper extends the panel threshold regression of Hansen (1999) and Kourtellos, Stengos and Tan (2007) to allow for endogeneity of the threshold variable. We consider the static linear panels with fixed effect. The modified concentrated two-stage least square methods that are based on inverse Mills ratio bias correction terms are proposed to estimate threshold parameters. Our estimators are ...

Reducing the disparity in consumption between urban and rural areas, as a critical component mitigating economic imbalance them, holds significant importance enhancing people’s sense of well-being achieving collective prosperity. This research investigated nonlinear impact digital economy its sub-dimensions, including industrialization, industrial digitization, environment, on urban–rural dispa...

This study uses a new and innovative dynamic panel threshold technique to examine the relationship between inbound tourism ecological footprint (EF). method was applied 10 most popular destinations spanning 1995–2021. These findings demonstrate that EF have effect. To be specific, we find only certain of is beneficial environment; beyond point, increasing likely cause EF. Additionally, economic...
