The communication and European Regional economic growth: The interactive fixed effects approach

Author

Listed:
  • Liu, Hao

Abstract

Following the frontier framework of the panel data models with the interactive fixed effects, the study identifies the European regional economic growth determinants for 268 regions from 2000 to 2014. The regional communication might provide the supplementary positive effects on the European regional economic growth, where the population and educational attainment level are negative correlated to the regional economic growth. The regional human resources in science and technology remain the domination power as one of the regional economic engines in European Union after the millennium.
