Using spatial econometric techniques to analyze the joint employment decisions of spouses

Kalenkoski, Charlene; Lacombe, Donald J. - 2014

Studies of the joint time-use decisions of spouses have relied on joint estimation of time-use equations, sometimes assuming correlated errors across spouses' equations and sometimes directly examining the effects of one spouse's time use on another's, relying on panel data or instrumental...

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...

Technological diffusion, spatial spillovers and regional convergence in Europe

Paci, Raffaele; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2001

convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …

Cognitive ability, character skills, and learning to play equilibrium : a level-k analysis

Gill, David; Prowse, Victoria L. - 2014

In this paper we investigate how cognitive ability and character skills influence behavior, success and the evolution of play towards Nash equilibrium in repeated strategic interactions. We study behavior in a p-beauty contest experiment and find striking differences according to cognitive...

This paper analyses the issue of money superneutrality through an intertemporal optimising model of capital accumulation and inflation with endogenous fertility, i.e. endogenous population growth. The model establishes an inverse relation between capital-labour ratio and population growth, which...

Environmental Resources Depletion and Interplay Between Negative and Positive Externalities in a Growth Model

Antoci, Angelo - 2005

We analyse growth dynamics in an economy where the well-being of economic agents depends on three goods: leisure, a free access environmental good and a private good which can be produced by each agent through his own labour input. The private good can be consumed as a substitute for the...
