Globalisation and Migratory Pressures from Developing Countries: A Simulation Analysis

de Melo, Jaime; Ettinger, Charles; Faini, Riccardo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

We use a Ricardo-Viner model to study the determinants of the supply of outmigration in developing countries in a model with heterogenous households. We assume that heterogeneity and migration costs prevent households from total migration. Data are calibrated to two archetypal developing...

Ageing, Migration and Labour Mobility

Winkelmann, Rainer; Zimmermann, Klaus F - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1992

This paper provides insights into the relationship between the substantial ageing of the European labour force, large migration movements, and individual labour mobility. First, qualitative predictions are derived using the theory of production with multiple inputs. Second, quantitative...

Understanding the Home Market Effect and the Gravity Equation: The Role of Differentiating Goods

Feenstra, Robert; Markusen, James R.; Rose, Andrew K - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1998

This paper argues that the theoretical foundations for the gravity equation are general, while the empirical performance of the gravity equation is specific to the type of goods examined. Most existing theory for the gravity equation depends on the assumption of differentiated goods. We show...

Specialization Patterns and the Factor Bias of Technology

Cuñat, Alejandro; Maffezzoli, Marco - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

Development accounting exercises based on an aggregate production function find technology is biased in favour of a country's abundant production factors. We provide an explanation to this finding based on the Heckscher-Ohlin model. Countries trade and specialize in the industries that use...

Neoclassical Growth and Commodity Trade

Cuñat, Alejandro; Maffezzoli, Marco - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2002

We construct and numerically solve a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin model in which the initial distribution of production factors in the world makes worldwide factor price equalization impossible, and leads countries to group in two diversification cones. We study the dynamics of income per capita and...

An Econometric Investigation of North-South Interdependence

Beenstock, Michael - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1988

In Centre for Economic Policy Research Discussion Paper Nos. 164 and 165 I presented econometric models of the industrialized countries (North) and the oil-importing developing countries (South). This paper links the two models so that the economic interdependence between North and South can be...

`1992': Trade and Welfare; A General Equilibrium Model

Gasiorek, Michael; Smith, Alasdair; Venables, Anthony J - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1992

This paper investigates the consequences of the completion of the internal market in the EC using a computable general equilibrium model of trade under imperfect competition. The focus of the paper is the welfare consequences of reducing trade barriers and the changes in production and trade...

The Measurement of Policy Effects in a Non-Causal Model: An Application to Economic Policy in the UK, 1974-79

Artis, Michael J; Bladen-Hovell, Robin; Ma, Yue - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1991

There is a well-established methodology for measuring the effects of economic policy in a model that is `causal' or backward-looking. In this paper a complementary methodology is described for the case in which the model is `non-causal' or forward-looking. The methodology is then applied to an...

Solving Heterogeneous-Agent Models with Parameterized Cross-Sectional Distributions

Algan, Yann; Allais, Olivier; Den Haan, Wouter - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2007

disadvantages of the prevailing algorithm that strongly relies on simulation techniques and is easier to implement than existing … possible to avoid Monte Carlo integration. The paper also develops a new simulation procedure that not only avoids cross … finite number of agents. This procedure can help to improve the efficiency of the most popular algorithm in which simulation …
