We examine the implications of tax and subsidy policies for employment in the “three worlds of welfare”, Anglo …-Saxon, Continental European and Scandinavian. We argue that home production is key to a proper evaluation of the employment outcomes …. Anglo-Saxon lowsupport policies encourage more overall market employment. Continental transfer policies encourage more home …

This paper investigates whether the geographic distribution of manufacturing activities depends on the size of plants. Using Italian data, we find, as in Kim [Kim, S., 1995. Expansion of markets and the geographic concentration of economic activities: the trends in U.S. regional manufacturing...

Efficient semiparametric and parametric estimates are developed for a spatial autoregressive model, containing nonstochastic explanatory variables and innovations suspected to be non-normal. The main stress is on the case of distribution of unknown, nonparametric, form, where series...

In a panel data model with fixed effects, possible cross-sectional dependence is investigated in a spatial autoregressive setting. An Edgeworth expansion is developed for the maximum likelihood estimate of the spatial correlation coefficient. The expansion is used to develop more accurate...
