TransNIEMO: Economic Impact Analysis Using a Model of Consistent Interregional Economic and Network Equilibria
Cho, JoongKoo; Gordon, Peter; II, James E. Moore; Pan, … - 2014
We describe a model that integrates a multi-regional input-output model of the U.S. (50 states and the District of Columbia) with the national highway network. Interstate commodity shipments are placed on a congestible highway network. Simulations of major choke-point disruptions redirect...

The Crisis and Regional Resilience in Europe: On the Importance of Urbanization and Specialization
Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; van Marrewijk, Charles - 2014
Using a rich data set on the EU regions, we analyze the relevance of two possible determinants of a region’s resilience to shocks, the degree of urbanization and specialization. We take the Great Recession, the economic and financial crisis that started in 2008, as our shock and then analyze...

A Spatial Perspective on European Integration: Heterogeneous Welfare and Migration Effects from the Single Market and the Brexit
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias - 2016
We use a quantitative model to study the implications of European integration for welfare and migration flows across 1,318 regions. The model suggests that an increase of trade barriers to the level of 1957 reduces welfare by about 1-2 percent on average, depending on the presumed trade...

The Evolution of Zipf's Law for U.S. Cities
Hackmann, Angelina; Klarl, Torben - 2018
Exploiting the cascade structure of cities and based on a dataset for U.S. cities between 1840 and 2016, the aim of this short paper is to answer three important questions: First, do we observe that the U.S. city size distribution exhibits a smooth transition to Zipf's law from the beginning or...

Looking for multiple equilibria when geography matters : German city growth and the WWII shock
Bosker, E. Maarten; Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; … - 2005
Many modern trade and growth models are characterized by multiple equilibria. In theory the analysis of multiple equilibria is possible, but in practice it is difficult to test for the presence of multiple equilibria. Based on the methodology developed by Davis and Weinstein (2004) for the case...

Relaxing Hukou: Increased labor mobility and China's economic geography
Bosker, Maarten; Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; … - 2010
China's Hukou system poses severe restrictions on labor mobility. This paper assesses the consequences of relaxing these restrictions for China's internal economic geography. We base our analysis on a new economic geography model. First, we obtain estimates of the important model parameters on...
