We analyze two hitherto little studied but salient questions concerning the trinity of asymmetric information, entrepreneurial activity, and the scope of fiscal policy in an open regional economy. First, we use a two period model to analyze the contractual relationship between entrepreneurs and...

Optimal wage indexation, as derived by Gray, was subject to criticism due to a lack of efficient use of information; failure to clear the market which resulted in non-optimal contracts; and the lack of an explicit use of welfare criteria. The purpose of this paper is to derive a wage contract...

investigates - from a methodological viewpoint - the relationship between network connectivity and the rank-size rule (or Zipf …'s law) in an urban-economic network constellation. After a review of the literature, we address in particular the following …-economic network theories (e.g. entropy maximization, spatial interaction theory, etc.); (ii) the nature of the analytical relationship …
