Application of regionally varying additionality degrees in the practice of EU cohesion policy
Nam, Chang-woon; Wamser, Georg - 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,...

The persistent effects of place-based policy : evidence from the West-German Zonenrandgebiet
Ehrlich, Maximilian von; Seidel, Tobias - 2015 - This version: May 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...

Simultaneous search and network efficiency
Gautier, Pieter; Holzner, Christian - 2011
When workers send applications to vacancies they create a network. Frictions arise if workers do not know where other … workers apply to (this affects network creation) and firms do not know which candidates other firms consider (this affects … network clearing). We show that those frictions and the wage mechanism are in general not independent. Equilibria that exhibit …
