We therefore seek to contribute to filling that missing gap by assessing whether the 15 West African countries are converging or catching up with the developed or advanced countries. First, we explored conditional and unconditional beta convergence and secondly, we examined sigma convergence using the mean log deviation and the average GDP per capita relative to the richer USA. We found no evidence of unconditional convergence or sigma convergence between the West African countries and the USA. However, we found evidence of conditional convergence between the two given no variation in structural growth factors. For instance, controlling for investment and population growth, it will take 89 years to cut the gap between the West African countries and the USA into half. Controlling for investment, population growth and human capital accumulation rate, the number of years to cut the gap into half reduces to 78 whereas adding FDI and trade openness increases the speed of convergence to 2 % and reduces the number of years for halving the gap to 35.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"47 6","pages":"Pages 1305-1321"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145384385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using disaggregated judicial data for twenty regions (1991–2015) that distinguish two contractual forms of corruption—active (coercive payments imposed by officials) and passive (collusive bribes initiated by firms)—we estimate dynamic panel models to identify direct and spending-interaction effects. Three results emerge. First, active corruption can display a short-run “grease” association with growth in highly bureaucratic settings, but the effect is non-linear and quickly dissipates at higher levels. Second, active corruption sands the wheels by weakening the growth-promoting role of public expenditure, whereas the passive form shows no comparable interaction. Third, this erosion is strongest in weaker institutional environments, particularly in Southern regions. Policy should therefore shield procurement and frontline services through transparency, risk-based integrity checks, and digital traceability, and target oversight and enforcement where vulnerabilities are greatest. Aligning anti-corruption with regional development priorities is essential to preserve spending multipliers and sustain more balanced growth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"47 6","pages":"Pages 1158-1179"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145384378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The return of Trump to the White House, a new trade war has just started. With the aim of addressing the territorial effect of trade policy, this study quantifies the effects of two significant protectionism measures announced by the US against the EU before the pandemic: the Boeing-Airbus trade dispute within the WTO and a 25 % tariff on the automotive sector. The impacts are calculated for 297 NUTS-2 European regions combining partial equilibrium and multiregional input-output analysis. The results reveal that the new tariffs would significantly negatively impact the European economy, with unevenly distributed effects across regions. The most affected regions are those heavily specialized in targeted products, such as automotive and aerospace components, and those deeply integrated into European value chains, experiencing substantial indirect impacts. This work underscores the need for targeted policy interventions at the European, national, and regional levels to mitigate these adverse effects. Key policy recommendations include developing contingency plans, promoting sectoral and geographical diversification, and strengthening intra-European trade relations. The findings highlight the strategic importance of the EU’s engagement in global trade negotiations to protect its economic interests and support vulnerable regions. This study wants also to illustrate the potential effects of some of the new tariffs just announced by Trump against the EU to be applied in the first years of his second term.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"47 5","pages":"Pages 919-940"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the promotion of the circular economy can be instrumental for governments in attaining their environmental targets. Circular companies play a central role in the transition to sustainable production and consumption systems; however, the factors that promote their development and growth remain unclear. In our study, we analyze the role of civil society engagement in the development and diffusion of circular companies. We use a dataset covering the Italian provinces from 2010 to 2020 and find that community engagement is strongly associated with the number of circular companies and the share of circular employment, even when accounting for spatial effects. The results suggest that policymakers should leverage bottom-up approaches based on civil society engagement when designing tools and interventions to promote a transition that is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48015,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Modeling","volume":"47 5","pages":"Pages 941-957"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
