Diagnostic Tools for Nonlinearity in Spatial Models

de Graaff, Thomas; Florax, Raymond J.G.M.; Nijkamp, Peter; … - 1998

There is an increasing awareness of the potential of nonlinear modeling in regional science, which can partly be explained by the recognition of the limitations of conventional equilibrium models in complex situationsand partly by the easy availability and accessibility of sophisticated...

Search and the City

Teulings, Coen N.; Gautier, P.A. - 2002

We develop a model of an economy with several regions, which differ in scale. Within each region, workers have to search for a job-type that matches their skill. They face a trade-off between match quality and the cost of extended search. This trade-off differs between regions, because search is...

Comparative Advantage, the Rank-size Rule, and Zipf's Law

Hinloopen, Jeroen; van Marrewijk, Charles - 2006

Using a comprehensive international trade data set we investigate empirical regularities (known as Zipf’s Law or the rank-size rule) for the distribution of the interaction between countries as measured by revealed comparative advantage. Using the recently developed estimator by Gabaix and...

New Neural Network Methods for Forecasting Regional Employment: An Analysis of German Labour Markets

Patuelli, Roberto; Reggiani, Aura; Nijkamp, Peter; … - 2006

In this paper, a set of neural network (NN) models is developed to compute short-term forecasts of regional employment patterns in Germany. NNs are modern statistical tools based on learning algorithms that are able to process large amounts of data. NNs are enjoying increasing interest in...
