This paper uses a simultaneous equations model of labour and housing market relationships in the London Metropolitan region in order to illuminate some of the specific characteristics of female labour markets in an explicitly spatial context. In addition to restricted female commuting fields,...

Whilst local pay differentials lie at the heart of most models of local labour markets, not enough is known about the size and trends of such differentials in Great Britain. This study is based on a new data set, derived from Inland Revenue and Department of Social Security statistics, for a 1...

Sets out a version of a standard conjectural-variations oligopoly model, and investigates the properties of that model with respect to the effects of entry. Shows within this context that entry unambiguously reduces incumbents' margins and output, while raising industry output. Also shows that...

A labor-market model is constructed in which migration may exhibit distance deterrence and cumulative inertia. (Migration probabilities fall with distance and length of residence, respectively.) The combination of these two processes yields higher equilibrium unemployment rates in remote areas....

GORDON I. and MOLHO I. (1998) A multi-stream analysis of the changing pattern of interregional migration in Great Britain, 1960-1991, Reg. Studies, 32 , 309-323. This paper uses a combination of spatial and econometric modelling techniques to investigate longer term patterns and processes of...

This paper models migration probabilities in a duration context, where migration may occur at the end of an observed residence spell. The analysis is based on a sample of young women in rural locations in France, and relates to their first move after leaving full-time education. We distinguish...

Sets out a version of a standard conjectural‐variations oligopoly model, and investigates the properties of that model with respect to the effects of entry. Shows within this context that entry unambiguously reduces incumbents′ margins and output, while raising industry output. Also shows...
