Emigration and Wages: The EU Enlargement Experiment

Elsner, Benjamin - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

This paper studies the impact of a large emigration wave on real wages in the source country. Following EU enlargement in 2004, a large share of the workforce of the Central and Eastern Europe emigrated to Western Europe. Using data from Lithuania for the calibration of a factor demand model I...

Productivity and Firm Selection: Quantifying the “New” Gains from Trade

Ottaviano, Gianmarco I.P.; Corcos, Gregory; Gatto, … - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

We discuss how standard computable equilibrium models of trade policy can be enriched with selection effects without missing other important channels of adjustment. This is achieved by estimating and simulating a partial equilibrium model that accounts for a number of real world effects of trade...

Punish and Perish?

Antoci, Angelo; Zarri, Luca - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2011

The evolution of large-scale cooperation among genetic strangers is a fundamental unanswered question in the social … the endogenous enforcement of cooperation. Insofar as strongly reciprocal players are willing to costly sanction defectors …, cooperation flourishes. However, experimental evidence unambiguously indicates that not only defection and strong reciprocity, but …

Mitigation and Solar Radiation Management in Climate Change Policies

Manousi, Vasiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2013

We couple a spatially homogeneous energy balance climate model with an economic growth model which incorporates two potential policies against climate change: mitigation, which is the traditional policy, and geoengineering. We analyze the optimal policy mix of geoengineering and mitigation in...

Civic Capital and the Size Distribution of Plants: Short-Run Dynamics and Long-Run Equilibrium

Bürker, Matthias; Minerva, G. Alfredo - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012

We characterize how the size distribution of plants, within narrowly defined industries, changed in Italy over a ten-year time span, and relate this to the stock of civic capital at the provincial level. Data on plant size come from the 1991 and 2001 Italian censuses. Civic capital turns out to...

Cooperation through Imitation and Exclusion in Networks

Fosco, Constanza; Mengel, Friederike - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2009

We develop a simple model to study the coevolution of interaction structures and action choices in Prisoners’ Dilemma games. Agents are boundedly rational and choose both actions and interaction partners via payoff-based imitation. The dynamics of imitation and exclusion yields polymorphic...
