The Impact of the German Autobahn Net on Regional Labor Market Performance: A Study Using Historical Instrument Variables
Möller, Joachim; Zierer, Marcus - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2014
This paper analyzes the impact of the German autobahn net on the economic performance of German regions. To address endogeneity and reverse causation problems, we use historical instrument variables, i.e. a plan of the railroad net in 1890 and a plan of the autobahn net in 1937. We find a...

Towards a Unifying Approach of the 'New Economic Geography'
Pflüger, Michael; Südekum, Jens - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2006
Models of the new economic geography share a number of common conclusions, but also exhibit notable differences, in particular with respect to the shape of the location pattern and the efficiency of the market equilibrium. This reflects the fact that these models rely heavily on specific...

On Pitchforks and Tomahawks
Pflüger, Michael; Südekum, Jens - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
The core-periphery model by Krugman (1991) has two 'dramatic' implications: catastrophic agglomeration and locational hysteresis. We study this seminal model with CES instead of Cobb-Douglas upper tier preferences. This small generalization suffices to change these stark implications. For a wide...

Industry Churning and the Evolution of Cities: Evidence for Germany
Findeisen, Sebastian; Suedekum, Jens - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
In this paper we show that the recent model by Duranton (AER, 2007) performs remarkably well in replicating the city size distribution of West Germany, much better than the simple rank-size rule known as Zipf’s law. The main mechanism of this theoretical framework is the "churning" of...

The Effect of Location on Finding a Job in the Greater Paris Area
Gobillon, Laurent; Magnac, Thierry; Selod, Harris - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
There are large spatial disparities in unemployment durations across the 1,300 municipalities in the Ile-de-France region (Paris Greater Area). In order to characterize these imbalances, we estimate a proportional hazard model stratified by municipality on an exhaustive dataset of all...

We also demonstrate that, for a low urbanization level, there is a unique steady …-state equilibrium where workers do not interact with weak ties, while, for a high level of urbanization, there is a unique steady … when social interactions are optimal, we show that there is over-urbanization in equilibrium. …
