International Trade, Factor Mobility and the Persistence of Cultural-Institutional Diversity
Belloc, Marianna; Bowles, Samuel - 2021
Cultural and institutional differences among nations may result in differences in the ratios of marginal costs of goods in autarchy and thus be the basis of specialization and comparative advantage, as long as these differences are not eliminated by trade. We provide an evolutionary model of...

Intra-Regional Tax Competition and Economic Geography
Huehnerbein, Ossip Robert - 2007
We extent a solvable version of the core-periphery agglomeration model to four countries located in two regions. The paper shows that there might still be a race to the bottom in capital income tax rates despite agglomeration rents earned by the mobile factor. We find that intra-regional tax...

Estimating Dynamic Equilibrium Models Using Mixed Frequency Macro and Financial Data
Christensen, Bent Jesper - 2014
We provide a framework for inference in dynamic equilibrium models including financial market data at daily frequency, along with macro series at standard lower frequency. Our formulation of the macro-finance model in continuous-time conveniently accounts for the difference in observation...

The Value of Incumbency in Heterogeneous Platforms
Biglaiser, Gary - 2016
We study the dynamics of competition in a model with network effects, an incumbent and entry. We propose a new way of representing the strategic advantages of incumbency in a static model. We then embed this static analysis in a dynamic framework with heterogeneous consumers. We completely...
