This paper explores the role of business services in knowledge accumulation and growth and the determinants of knowledge diffusion including the role of distance. A continuous time model is estimated on several European countries, Japan, and the US. The results of the estimation and the policy simulations support the basic insights of the Lisbon Agenda. Economic growth in Europe is enhanced to the extent that: trade in services increases, technology accumulation and diffusion increase, regulation becomes both less intensive and more uniform across countries, and human capital accumulation increases in all countries.
Questo lavoro studia il ruolo dei servizi alla produzione nel processo d’accumulazione di conoscenza e nella crescita economica, e le determinanti della diffusione di conoscenza attraverso la stima di un modello di crescita in tempo continuo per un gruppo di paesi europei, gli Stati Uniti e il Giappone. I risultati delle stime e delle simulazioni di politica economica confermano la visione generale dell’Agenda di Lisbona: la crescita economica in Europa può essere stimolata attraverso la crescita nel commercio di servizi, l’accumulazione e la diffusione di tecnologia, una minore e più uniforme regolamentazione, e il potenziamento del capitale umano.

Abstract
This paper explores the role of business services in knowledge accumulation and growth and the determinants of knowledge diffusion including the role of distance. A continuous time model is estimated on several European countries, Japan, and the US. The results of the estimation and the policy simulations support the basic insights of the Lisbon Agenda. Economic growth in Europe is enhanced to the extent that: trade in services increases, technology accumulation and diffusion increase, regulation becomes both less intensive and more uniform across countries, and human capital accumulation increases in all countries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
