Internal Geography and External Trade: regional disparities in Italy, 1861-2011
A'Hearn, Brian; Venables, Anthony J - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011
This paper explores the interactions between external trade and regional disparities in the Italian economy since unification. It argues that the advantage of the North was initially based on natural advantage (in particular the endowment of water, intensive in silk production). From 1880...

Regional Policy Design: An Analysis of Relocation, Efficiency and Equity
Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
Despite substantial regional expenditures at both national and community level, European regional policies do not appear to deliver. The evidence suggests that neither efficiency gains nor reduced regional inequalities are attained. If there is any positive impact at all, then it is at the most...

The 'Genome' of NEG Models with Vertical Linkages: A Positive and Normative Synthesis
Ottaviano, Gianmarco; Robert-Nicoud, Frédéric - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
This Paper takes a broader look at how vertical linkages can trigger the spatial agglomeration of economic activity in … too little agglomeration. It shows that, in terms of positive implications, vertical-linkage models are identical to … implications in the absence of interregional transfers: in migration models agglomeration is necessarily bad for people stuck in …

Regional Wage and Employment Responses to Market Potential in the EU
Head, Keith; Mayer, Thierry - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005
Recent theoretical work on economic geography emphasizes the interplay of transport costs and plant-level increasing returns. In these models, the spatial distribution of demand is a key determinant of economic outcomes. In one strand, it is argued that higher demand gives rise to a more than...

Economic Linkages Across Space
Overman, Henry G; Rice, Patricia; Venables, Anthony J - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2008
We develop a diagrammatic framework that can be used to study the economic linkages between regions or cities. Hitherto, such linkages have not been the primary focus of either the theoretical or empirical literatures. We use the framework to analyse the impact of shocks that occur in one region...

Economies of Scale in European Manufacturing Revisited
Henriksen, Espen; Steen, Frode; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001
We test for internal and external economies of scale in European manufacturing, employing a more disaggregated data set than has been used in earlier analyses. We aim to separate externalities from common business cycle effects. Fifteen European manufacturing industries in Germany, France, the...
