Estimates indicate that regional specialization provides the highest potential for employment productivity gains, while higher levels of competition and higher regional diversity suppress the prospects for knowledge spillover effects to develop. Particularly, the analysis using the comprehensive sample of firms indicates the presence of forces leading to output per worker convergence at the national level, i.e., technological catch-up is present at the per-worker level; yet, the overall value of production convergence across regions is not present. We also detect the presence of Spatial Dependency in relation to the neighboring firms. That is, there is support for weak convergence across regions in favor of the Marshallian hypotheses. However, sectorial estimations for the Services, Information Technology, and Manufacturing sector indicate the presence of large differences in terms of technological catch-up effects.","PeriodicalId":44865,"journal":{"name":"Review of Regional Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82161575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data on GDP growth for United States counties from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Regional Economic Accounts and data on county-level religious participation from the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA), this paper estimates the impact of religiosity on growth using two-way fixed-effects Barro regressions for the period 2000 to 2020. In our preferred specification, a ten percentage-point increase in the county religious adherent share reduces the 10-year compound annual growth rate of per-capita GDP by 0.14 percentage points (a 19% reduction relative to the sample mean). A battery of sensitivity checks suggests our results are unlikely to be driven by omitted variable bias: both the Oster (2019) adjustment for selection on unobservables and Kinky Least Squares (KLS) regression estimates indicate that OLS understates the negative impact of religion on regional economic growth. We argue that the negative impact of religion on regional economic growth is consistent with previous findings of increased business survival and increased small business activity in a framework where the social capital generated from religious participation results in inefficiently low regional dynamism.","PeriodicalId":44865,"journal":{"name":"Review of Regional Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80954853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We do this in order to determine whether or not the differences in the main municipal economic indicators (such as levels of wealth, economic growth rates, and salaries) are associated with differences in productive capabilities. Specifically, our results illustrate: i) a considerable heterogeneity, in terms of productive capabilities, across municipalities; ii) a positive relationship between the level of economic complexity of municipalities and their level of wealth and rate of economic growth, and iii) a positive relationship between the complexity of economic activities and the average salaries received by those employed in them. Furthermore, by finding that the majority of new firms in complex (non-complex) municipalities generally tend to engage in more sophisticated/higher-value-added (less sophisticated/lower-value-added) economic activities, we provide supporting evidence on the gradual accumulation of productive capabilities within municipalities to the literature on evolutionary economic geography. According to this literature, this is how economies generally develop, i.e., by gradually accumulating productive capabilities so as to become more diverse and be able to engage in more complex economic activities, allowing economies to grow and become wealthier.","PeriodicalId":44865,"journal":{"name":"Review of Regional Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77860248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the MPI is a global index, the method is flexible and can be modified to best suit the environment or target groups. Coastal regions are one of the most critical areas that require modified MPI, since their complex structures are constantly subjected to natural and human changes that affect the living conditions of residents. What is lost in using the global MPI for poverty assessment in coastal communities is the lack of attention to contextual characteristics and, subsequently, missing various multi-aspect indicators in different natures and scales. This paper reviews the MPI and tries to expand the model based on the indicators of marine development approaches for the Makran coastal region as the case study. Overall, this review draws attention to social, natural, and financial capitals that have not conventionally been incorporated into the MPI model. According to the proposed model, although the Makran region has made slight progress in poverty reduction based on the general MPI index under the influence of development plans and various drivers during a ten-year period, it is severely impoverished in social, financial, and natural indicators presented by the expanded model. This difference shows the importance of using the developed model to enhance assessment accuracy and recommends a combination of five main poverty-related dimensions for poverty alleviation policies and evaluation processes in coastal regions.","PeriodicalId":44865,"journal":{"name":"Review of Regional Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82543968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aims to investigate the influence of cross-border tourism on bilateral trade and cooperation between India and Myanmar. Further, the paper identifies the role of community support as a mediator between exogenous and endogenous variables. An onsite questionnaire is distributed among the residents of Indian border areas close to the neighboring border of Myanmar. The SEM is employed to reject the null hypotheses and test the proposed model empirically. The findings reveal that all the proposed hypotheses are supported. The cross-border cooperation is positively influenced by cross-border tourism development and trade between India and Myanmar. Moreover, community support mediates the relationship between cross-border tourism, bilateral trade, and cooperation. An important consideration from this paper is that tourism supported by border communities can act as a catalyst for promoting cooperation among hostile countries. India and Myanmar being close neighbors, have huge scope to support each other through different cross-border programs, projects, and bilateral trade. The study provides valuable insights for both countries to adopt tourism initiatives as a tool to ameliorate their relationships and develop the economic conditions of border communities.","PeriodicalId":44865,"journal":{"name":"Review of Regional Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76172942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
