Using a panel of 23 NUTS III Portuguese regions and the 137 Brazilian mesoregions with export data for High and Medium-High technological intensity and Low technological intensity sectors, we found a larger productivity gap between the High and Medium-High Technological sector and the Low Technological sector in Portugal than in Brazil. Using spatial econometric techniques, we found a positive impact of R&D on export productivity in the High and Medium-High Technological sector, but only in the Portuguese case. The spatial spillover effects are different in the two countries. The specialisation and diversifications economies have a negative impact on the export productivity in the Portuguese High and Medium-High Technological sector. In the Brazilian case, it was estimated a positive direct and total effect on productivity due to specialisation economies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 5","pages":"Article 100014"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224000428/pdfft?md5=f379964207513d22df4de08824c65eda&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224000428-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141249742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We construct market income and final income measures and use quantile regressions to estimate the impact across income deciles and across urban and rural areas of the different fiscal redistribution systems that operate regionally in Spain. To do that, we combine microdata from the Living Conditions Survey and Household Budget Survey for the 2017–2020 period. The results show that there is a 6 % urban<img>rural income gap for market income and that redistribution reduces it to 4 % for final income. Individuals in the lower deciles are more affected by the urban<img>rural income gap before and after fiscal interventions. There is large heterogeneity in the size of this income gap across regions and in their capacity to address it. Our results highlight the redistributive capacity of fiscal policies for narrowing the urban-rural income gap.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 5","pages":"Article 100045"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224000805/pdfft?md5=074bcc2c9eb84d7b934251b3bf0e5faa&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224000805-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141250468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I evaluate the effects of these money transfers on direct, indirect, and total tax revenues in post-socialist countries. The Westerlund Cointegration test assesses the presence of a long-term relationship between money transfers and tax revenues, while the panel ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) model measures the effects of money transfers on tax revenues. The results show that money transfers increase tax revenue primarily via both direct and indirect taxes. Money transfers are not directly taxed, due to difficulties to tax and the possible discouraging effects on remitting. They can provide financial resources for entrepreneurs and facilitate the employment of idle production capacities, which results in increased economic activity and employment. As a consequence, money transfers could indirectly increase direct taxes via income taxes on bolstered economic activities and employment. In addition, money transfers are primarily used for improving and sustaining household welfare, which increases consumer spending. Therefore, increased consumption is taxed via indirect taxes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 5","pages":"Article 100016"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224000453/pdfft?md5=90492c748a5c3387eee6d847a8f3c26e&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224000453-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141250487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This policy fosters the creation of firm aggregations with an ad hoc contract, without resorting on mergers. Network contracts are meant to increase economic efficiency for all firms involved in the contract. The paper employs a unique data base with panel data on companies’ balance sheets for the period 2007–2012 along with data on the characteristics of their network contract. The effect of signing a network contract on the economic performance of the single firms and their aggregations is econometrically analyzed. Empirical results suggest in particular that (i.) firms signing a network contract tend to outperform firms that do not, and (ii.) network contracts whose members agree to commit more effort in the contract tend to outperform network contracts with less formally stated degrees of commitment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 9","pages":"Article 100064"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224001896/pdfft?md5=d736b70084d09561cc331b137d1cdb1d&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224001896-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Profits. Using the National Survey of Social and Popular Economy Organizations (ENOEPS, acronym in Spanish), four econometric models are estimated: i. Quantile regression, ii.

Results suggest that the fair-trade certification is positively associated with income and its effect varies according to the income level, but there is no causal effect. Certified SSEOs are more likely to report a high satisfaction level with income increments and to report profits, compared to non-certified SSEOs.
