Spatial growth volatility and age-structured human capital dynamics in Europe

Author

  • Parhi, Mamata
  • Mishra, Tapas

Abstract

We study dynamic output co-movements in Europe in a spatial setting where proportion of human capital and its appropriation pattern in production define distance among countries. Significant spatial output and shock correlations are found suggesting possible welfare-enhancing cross-country policy coordination.
