“…For the period analyzed, an insignificant influence of public investment and education on the growth rate of the European countries is derived from the estimation carried out. These results are consistent with the findings of many researchers (Bartkowskaa and Riedl, 2012;Alvarez and Barbero, 2016). But the overall valuation of the studies is mixed.…”

The aim of this paper is to estimate the potential effects of EU-15 public policies on economic convergence. In particular, an empirical proposal is presented to compare, in terms of convergence speed, the results reached in the EU with the policies implemented with those obtained under alternative policies during the 1980-2010 period. On the basis of this approach, two types of scenarios were derived, depending on whether the changes in the policy instruments are considered in all the EU-15 countries or in each of them separately. Results show that it would have been possible to obtain better results for the EU convergence with higher rates of infrastructure and education investment, which provide support for the coordination of these policies between the member countries.

“…In other words, positive spatial spillover occurs. This finding supports the result of Aspiansyah & Damayanti (2019), Álvarez &Barbero (2016), andSun et al (2017). Hence, when a region neighbors another richer region, the former region will benefit from the latter region's economic activity due to intensive commercial relations between the two (Álvarez & Barbero, 2016).…”

“…If the result is not equal to 0, fixed effect model must be used. However, various similar previous studies by Sun et al (2017) 2017), dan Álvarez & Barbero (2016) found that, should the research on regional economic growth be conducted using MRW Model, the most theoretically appropriate regression type is the Spatial Durbin Model. This model enables the determination of a region's economic growth with the help of the region's independent variables, other region's economic growth, and independent variables of other regions (Aspiansyah & Damayanti, 2019).…”

Java is inarguably essential for Indonesia’s economy with its 59% contribution to the country’s GDP. However, behind the tremendous participation lies high regional disparity, poverty, and unemployment, which have become challenges to its economic development. This research aims to analyze the role of spatial dependence on regional economic growth in 119 regencies and cities in Java during the 2015- 2019 period. Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) and Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) were used to analyze the determinants of the spatial dependence and its impact on regional economic growth. The travel time among regions was utilized for the spatial weight matrix. The existence of spatial dependence in inter-regional economic growth can be identified from all models. The positive value of Moran’s I in the ESDA analysis indicates that the spatial pattern of the growth is clustering. The lambda parameter in the SDM estimation indicates the occurrence of backwash spillover in the effect of the spatial dependence on economic growth. The direct effects of initial per capita income, physical capital investment, road infrastructure, population growth, and education are significant on economic growth. Furthermore, the spillover effect of initial per capita income and education is also significant on the inter-regional economic growth.

“…The literature on spatial patterns in local taxes provides evidence of tax mimicking among municipalities (Allers & Elhorst, 2005;Cassette, Di Porto & Foremny, 2012;Delgado & Mayor, 2011). The work of Álvarez and Barbero (2016) highlights the importance of spatial effects of tax income on growth in Spanish regional economies, analysing at the same time competition among regions for public resources.…”

This article analyses the debt of local governments taking into account the presence of spatial interactions among neighbouring municipalities. To this end, the S2SLS and Spatial lag models were applied to a sample of 527 municipalities located in the Valencian Community (Spain) for the year 2015. The main results reveal a spatial correlation in outstanding debt among municipalities. The gender of the mayor, the grants and transfers received and the average payment period have direct effects on outstanding debt. In turn, the net savings index, inactive population, local income and the strength of the ruling political party have indirect effects on the municipal debt and indirect spatial effects on the debt of the neighbouring municipalities. Este artículo analiza la deuda de los gobiernos locales teniendo en cuenta la presencia de interacciones espaciales entre los municipios vecinos. Para ello se utiliza una muestra 527 municipios de la Comunidad Valenciana, para el año 2015 y se aplican los modelos espaciales S2SLS y Spatial lag. Los principales resultados obtenidos muestran la existencia de autocorrelacion espacial en la deuda viva entre los municipios. Las variables género del alcalde, índice de subvenciones y transferencias recibidas y el periodo medio de pago presentan efectos directos sobre la deuda viva. Mientras que, el índice de ahorro neto, la población no activa, la renta local y la fortaleza política tienen efectos directos en la deuda del municipio y efectos espaciales indirectos en la deuda de los municipios vecinos.
