International family migration and the dual-earner model

Munk, Martin D.; Nikolka, Till; Poutvaara, Panu - 2017

Gender differences in labor force participation are exceptionally small in Nordic countries. We investigate how couples emigrating from Denmark self-select and sort into different destinations and whether couples pursue the dual-earner model, in which both partners work, when abroad. Female...

Spatial and social mobility

Borck, Rainald; Wrede, Matthias - 2015 - This version: December 14, 2015

This paper analyzes the relationship between spatial mobility and social mobility. It develops a two-skill-type spatial equilibrium model of two regions with location preferences where each region consists of an urban area which is home to workplaces and residences and an exclusively residential...

Modeling inter-regional patient mobility : does distance go far enough?

Irlacher, Michael; Pennerstorfer, Dieter; Renner, … - 2021

This paper estimates a theory-guided gravity equation of regional patient flows. In our model, a patient’s choice to consult a physician in a particular region depends on a measure of spatial accessibility that accounts for the exact locations of both patients and physicians. Introducing this...

Regulating untaxable externalities : are vehicle air pollution standards effective and efficient?

Jacobsen, Mark R.; Sallee, James M.; Shapiro, Joseph S.; … - 2022

What is a feasible and efficient policy to regulate air pollution from vehicles? A Pigouvian tax is technologically infeasible. Most countries instead rely on exhaust standards that limit air pollution emissions per mile for new vehicles. We assess the effectiveness and efficiency of these...

Looming large or seeming small? : attitudes towards losses in a representative sample

Chapman, Jonathan; Snowberg, Erik; Wang, Stephanie; … - 2022

We measure individual-level loss aversion using three incentivized, representative surveys of the U.S. population (combined N = 3,000). We find that around 50% of the U.S. population is loss tolerant, with many participants accepting negative-expected-value gambles. This is counter to earlier...

Spatial sorting : why New York, Los Angeles and Detroit Attract the greatest minds as well as the unskilled

Eeckhout, Jan; Pinheiro, Roberto; Schmidheiny, Kurt - 2010

We propose a theory of skill mobility across cities. It predicts the well documented city size-wage premium: the wage distribution in large cities first-order stochastically dominates that in small cities. Yet, because this premium is reflected in higher house prices, this does not necessarily...

Land use regulations, migration and rising house price dispersion in the U.S.

Cun, Wukuang; Pesaran, M. Hashem - 2018

This paper develops a dynamic spatial equilibrium model of regional housing markets in which house prices are jointly determined with migration flows. Agents optimize period-by-period and decide whether to remain where they are or migrate to a new location at the start of each period. The gain...
