Although the local-linear kernel estimator applied does not explicitly take into account the spatial dimension of the data, it is found to be consistent in our context. In addition, the geographically weighted regression turns out to be less efficient. We obtain evidence of a non-linear relationship between regional growth and its determinants in the form of parameter heterogeneity and threshold effects. These non-linearities mainly affect the initial productivity of labour, the human capital endowment and, as a novelty, the level of infrastructures. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S16-ADETRE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/AP2008-03561 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-09332 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-13675 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2011-22650 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.144 2015 ECONOMICS 125 / 344 = 0.363 2015 Q2 T2 GEOGRAPHY 42 / 77 = 0.545 2015 Q3 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 72 / 104 = 0.692 2015 Q3 T3 0.894 2015 Geography, Planning and Development 2015 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2015 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0001-8973-6804 Vera-Cabello, María 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
