abstract governments in regional and national level try to improve economic and productivity growth by different polices. the being aware of effective factors in national and regional economic and productivity growth is essential for government success. in this paper, to being of aware determinant factors in productivity inequality, we use decomposition approach and econometric estimation for 2...

Many writers have claimed that research and development (R&D) has two ‘faces’. In addition to the conventional role of stimulating innovation, R&D enhances technology transfer by improving the ability of firms to learn about advances in the leading edge (‘absorptive capacity’). In this paper we explore this idea empirically using a panel of industries across twelve OECD countries. We find evide...

For this purpose we estimate a version of the growth model with endogenous technological change used in Benhabib and Spiegel (1994), which includes some modifications in order to capture the differences in the degree of succ...
