This paper studies regional output asymmetries following U.S. federal tax shocks. We estimate a vector autoregressive model for each U.S. state, utilizing the exogenous tax shock series recently proposed by Romer and Romer (2010) and find considerable variations: estimated output multipliers lie...

This paper provides an analysis of the convergence pattern of German housing prices and rents employing a new dataset … that covers all the country's administrative districts. In addition to conventional tests for β-convergence and δ-convergence … districts. Our results reveal no evidence of convergence across Germany or within states; rather, we discover widespread …
