Wages, Rents, Unemployment, and the Quality of Life

Wrede, Matthias - European Regional Science Association - 2013

Combining a spatial equilibrium model with a search-matching unemployment model, this paper analyzes the willingness to pay for regional amenities and the regional quality of life when wages, rents, and unemployment risk compensate for local amenities and disamenities. The results are compared...

Ranking German regions using interregional migration - What does internal migration tells us about regional well-being?

Wirth, Benjamin - European Regional Science Association - 2013

This research project ranks German regions with help of interregional migration data instead of gross domestic product, household incomes, unemployment or quality of life estimates. Therefore we estimate regional utility differentials for German states and planning regions following the approach...

A gravity equation for commuting - with an application to estimating regional and language border effects in Belgium.

Persyn, Damiaan; Torfs, Wouter - European Regional Science Association - 2013

This paper derives a gravity equation for commuter flows from a simple spatial labor market model based on the classic model developed by Anderson and Van Wincoop in the context of international trade. The approach shows the importance of taking into account the effect of the economic structure...
