A century of regional inequalities in Brazil
Magalhães, João Carlos Ramos; Alves, Pedro Jorge Holanda - 2022
This work calculates coefficients of spatial inequalities of wealth amongst Brazilian municipalities, for each year for the period from 1920 to 2016, states of the federation, from 1939 to 2017, and amongst municipalities from each of the five Brazilians' macro-regions, from 1920 to 2016. The...

Regional stabilization by fiscal equalization? : Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence from Germany
Büttner, Thiess - 1999
In the context of EMU fiscal equalization schemes have been proposed as a means to stabilize regions against asymmetric shocks. A theoretical analysis shows that besides reducing the cross-sectional income variance the redistributive element of fiscal equalization causes incentive effects for...

Evaluating multiple spatial dimensionsof economic growth in Brazil using spatial panel data models (1970-2000)
Resende, Guilherme Mendes; Carvalho, Alexandre Ywata de; … - 2015
The goal of this paper is to evaluate the results of regional economic growth estimates at multiple spatial scales using spatial panel data models. The spatial scales examined are minimum comparable areas, micro-regions, meso-regions and states over the period between 1970 and 2000. Alternative...

The distributional effects of place-based policies in the EU
Lang, Valentin - 2024
This chapter examines the distributional effects of place-based policies in the EU. In a first step, it characterizes existing income inequalities in the EU and distinguishes between their interregional and intraregional dimensions. A key result is that inequalities within European regions make...

Do preferences for urban amenities really differ by skill?
Arntz, Melanie; Brüll, Eduard; Lipowski, Cäcilia - 2021
City-level policies often aim at attracting skilled workers by improving urban amenities. However, due to endogeneity problems, studies relying on revealed preferences have difficulties in providing evidence for the basic premise that skilled workers place a higher value on urban amenities than...

Meta-analysis of present-bias estimation using convex time budgets
Imai, Taisuke; Rutter, Tom; Camerer, Colin - 2019
We examine 220 estimates of the present-bias parameter from 28 articles using the Convex Time Budget protocol. The literature shows that people are on average present biased, but the estimates exhibit substantial heterogeneity across studies. There is evidence of modest selective reporting in...

Simulated geo-coordinates as a tool for map-based regional analysis
Groß, Marcus; Rendtel, Ulrich; Schmid, Timo; … - 2018
kernel density estimates (KDE) offer advantages over classical choropleth maps. However, kernel density estimation needs … aggregates for kernel density estimation. Their algorithm simulates "exact" geo-coordinates which reflect the information on the …, the original algorithm is modified to cope with the estimation of a ratio of two densities. Our empirical examples refer …
