Regional Policy Evaluation : Interactive Fixed Effects and Synthetic Controls
Gobillon, Laurent - 2014
In this paper, we investigate the use of interactive effect or linear factor models in regional policy evaluation. We contrast treatment effect estimates obtained by Bai (2009)'s least squares method with the popular difference in differences estimates as well as with estimates obtained using...

On the Optimal Design of Place-Based Policies : A Structural Evaluation of EU Regional Transfers
Blouri, Yashar - 2018
We quantify general equilibrium effects of place-based policies in a multi-region framework with mobility, trade and agglomeration economies. Using detailed data on EU transfers, we infer the local effects of different transfer types on productivity, income and transportation cost. Based on...

Atomistic Congestion Tolls at Concentrated Airports : Seeking a Unified View in the Internalization Debate
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2007
The goal of this paper is to bring some unity to the theoretical side of the debate on internalization of airport congestion by showing that all the literature's theoretical results can be derived within one simple and unified framework. The analysis starts by replicating the results of...

Slot-Based Approaches to Airport Congestion Management
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2008
This paper analyzes slot-based approaches to management of airport congestion, using a model where airlines are asymmetric and internalize airport congestion. Under these circumstances, optimal congestion tolls differ across carriers, and since a slot-sale regime (with its uniform slot price)...

Convenient Flight Connections vs. Airport Congestion - Modeling the 'Rolling Hub'
Brueckner, Jan K. - 2015
This paper provides the first analysis of the trade-off between convenient flight connections and airport congestion. A continuous spatial model illustrates this trade-off in a framework where a small gap between flight operating times raises congestion while also shortening a connecting...

Reflections on Cluster Policies
Brakman, Steven - 2012
Economic activity tends to cluster. This results in productivity gains. For policy makers this offers an opportunity to formulate and promote policies that foster clustering of economic activity. Paradoxically, although agglomeration rents are often found in empirical research a rationale for...

The Persistent Effects of Place-Based Policy : Evidence from the West-German Zonenrandgebiet
von Ehrlich, Maximilian - 2015
Using a natural experiment from Germany, we show that temporary place-based subsidies generate persistent effects on economic density. We identify employment and capital formation as main channels for higher income per square kilometer. As the spatial regression discontinuity design allows us to...

Application of Regionally Varying Additionality Degrees in the Practice of EU Cohesion Policy
Nam, Chang Woon - 2010
The additionality principle says that the funds of the European Union should not replace, but be an addition to national regional policy funds. The benchmark for the co-funding is that the EU bears 50% of total costs associated with regional projects eligible for EU support. In some regions,...

What Marx Means Today
Sinn, Hans-Werner - 2017
Marx made significant contributions to macroeconomics, laying the grounds for both Keynes's theory of aggregate demand … and Schumpeter's theory of creative destruction. His law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall parallels Alvin … Hansen's theory of secular stagnation which has recently received much attention among scholars studying the financial crises …
