The 2008 economic crisis raised concerns about unemployment, especially for youths. Over the last decade, two stylized facts can be observed in the French labor market about youth unemployment: its average rate remaining at high levels and its major spatial variations. This paper investigates...

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...

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...

This paper evaluates the systemic impact of climate variations in a regional perspective using an interregional CGE model integrated with a physical model estimated for agriculture in order to catch the effects of climate change. The methodological approach adopted to conduct such analysis was...

In classical Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models all decisions are about continuous quantities, represented by non-negative real numbers. In a spatial framework it is however natural to allow for discrete choices, like choice location of residence and/or and location of work. Another...

We construct a two-country international trade model with national and multinational (multiplant) firms and we investigate the effect of economic integration on welfare both at the country and at the world level. Results crucially depend on the share of industrial profits owned by a country....

The city of Brussels has a unique position in Europe. It is not only the capital city of the European Union, it also the capital of federal state of Belgium, of its two different language communities and of the government of the Brussels region. Independent of this, the city itself is composed...

This paper outlines the theory and database preparation of IndoTERM, a 'bottom-up' computable general equilibrium model of the Indonesian economy. IndoTERM follows the pattern of other CGE models of the TERM family: it treats each region of a single country as a separate economy, linked to other...
