redistributive policy is dependant not only on the relative size of the economies but also on the timing of the migration process …: under the small country hypothesis, there is no redistribution in equilibrium if workers' migration decisions are taken with …

In this paper, we analyze the trade war between two large countries when the trade policy is decided through majority … voting. We show how the trade war equilibrium depends on the median voter production factor relative endowment. We compare … this equilibrium to the one analyzed by Johnson where the trade policy is driven by an utilitarian benevolent dictator. …

Using Belgian microdata, we assess the impact, on a hedonic regression, of the distortions arising from the choice of either a specific zoning system or the delineation of the study area. We also evaluate the biases that arise when spatial effects are not accounted for. Given that the dependent...

Following the model-based approach of Ellison and Glaeser (1997), we develop a framework to test for the link between concentration, spatial clustering and the size of plants. Concentration is an a-spatial concept of variability that can be measured with the standard locational Gini or the more...

Recent developments in the econometric estimation of multi-output, multi-input distance functions have provided a promising new solution to the single-output restriction implicit in the standard production function. However, a suspicion that regressor endogeneity may introduce possible...

We investigate and compare the spatial distribution of manufacturing activity and its determinants in Belguim, Ireland, and Portugal using comparable, exhaustive micro-level data sets.We find some similarities between Portugal and Belguim, but little for Ireland. Moreover, there is some evidence...
