Regional Equilibrium Unemployment Theory at the Age of the Internet
Lutgen, Vanessa; Linden, Bruno Van der - CESifo - 2015
This paper studies equilibrium unemployment in a two-region economy with matching frictions, where workers and jobs are …. Search-matching externalities are amplified by the latter possibility and by the fact that some workers can simultaneously … receive a job offer from each region. The rest of the framework builds upon Moretti (2011). Increasing the matching …

Welfare Benefits of Agglomeration and Worker Heterogeneity
Teulings, Coenraad N.; Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Groot, … - CESifo - 2014
The direct impact of local public goods on welfare is relatively easy to measure from land rents. However, the indirect effects on home and job location, on land use, and on agglomeration benefits are hard to pin down. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model for the valuation of these...

Fiscal Transfers in the Spatial Economy
Henkel, Marcel - 2018
Many countries operate pronounced fiscal equalization schemes that shift tax revenue across jurisdictions. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, costly trade and labor mobility to carve out the aggregate implications of this policy. Calibrating the model for...

Houses and/or Jobs: Ownership and the Labour Market in Belgian Districts
Isebaert, Daan; Heylen, Freddy; Smolders, Carine - CESifo - 2011
In a number of papers A.J. Oswald (1996, 1997) argues that high rates of home ownership may imply inferior labour market outcomes. This paper tests the Oswald hypothesis in a panel of 42 Belgian districts since the 1970s. The use of data going back to 1970 allows us to embed the Oswald...

A Spatial Perspective on European Integration : Heterogeneous Welfare and Migration Effects from the Single Market and the Brexit
Henkel, Marcel - 2017
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...
