Welfare benefits of agglomeration and worker heterogeneity
Teulings, Coen N.; Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Groot, Henri L. … - 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...

Strategic technology policy as a supplement to renewable energy standards
Fischer, Carolyn; Greaker, Mads; Rosendahl, Knut Einar - 2016
In many regions, renewable energy targets are a primary decarbonization policy. Most of the same jurisdictions also subsidize the manufacturing and/or deployment of renewable energy technologies, some being sufficiently aggressive as to engender WTO disputes. We consider a downstream...
