Service offshoring and export experience
Berlingieri, Giuseppe; Marcolin, Luca; Ornelas, Emanuel - 2021
Service inputs are a key component of the costs of exporting, and contribute to explain the process of internationalization of firms. A new dataset on the participation of French firms in global value chains reveals that firms with longer export experience in a market are more likely to source...

Quality of life in a dynamic spatial model
Ahlfeldt, Gabriel M.; Bald, Fabian; Roth, Duncan; … - 2020
We develop a dynamic spatial model in which heterogeneous workers are imperfectly mobile and forward-looking and yet all structural fundamentals can be inverted without assuming that the economy is in a stationary spatial equilibrium. Exploiting this novel feature of the model, we show that the...

Spatial inequality, geography and economic activity
Achten, Sandra; Lessmann, Christian - 2019
We study the effect of spatial inequality on economic activity. Given that the relationship is highly simultaneous in nature, we use exogenous variation in geographic features to construct an instrument for spatial inequality, which is independent from any man-made factors. Inequality measures...

Fiscal transfers in the spatial economy
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias; Südekum, Jens - 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...

Globalization, wage polarization, and the unstable great ratio
Cozzi, Guido; Impullitti, Giammario - 2014
The US labour market has experienced a remarkable polarization in the 1980s and 1990s. Moreover, recent empirical work has documented a sharp increase in the wealth to income ratio in that period. Contemporary to these inequality trends, the US faced a fast technological catch-up as European...

The direct and indirect effect of services offshoring on local labour market outcomes
Magli, Martina - 2020
The study proves evidence of five new empirical facts on the impact of services offshoring on local labour markets. First, services offshoring increases average employment and wages within local labour markets, much more so in the manufacturing industry than in the services one. Second, positive...

Estimation of higher-order spatial autoregressive panel data error component models
Badinger, Harald; Egger, Peter - 2009
This paper develops an estimator for higher-order spatial autoregressive panel data error component models with spatial autoregressive disturbances, SARAR(R,S). We derive the moment conditions and optimal weighting matrix without distributional assumptions for a generalized moments (GM)...
