A l’aide de la méthodologie des panels à transitionlisse (PSTR), nous montrons qu’il existe une non linéarité entrela croissance et l’investissement par rapport à la corruption, ca-ractérisée par une transition lisse entre les deux régimes extrêmes.Plus précisement, les résultats obtenus suggèrent que la sensibi-lité de la croissance par rapport à […]

KESSING – Chiara STROZZI – Camélia TURCU The regional distribution of public employment is affected bythe role of public employment for inter-regional redistribution.We provide a theoretical framework that highlights the logic ofsuch policies and analyze the empirical evidence. Our empiricalstudy considers the regional distribution of public employmentusing regional data from 19 European countries. Using OLS aswell as IV estimations, we find significant results that public employmentis higher in regions that are poor relative to […]
