Wage gaps and migrantion costs : an analysis from simulation data

Salazar-Ordóñez, Melania; García Alonso, Carlos Ramón; … - 2011

Borjas (1987, 1991 and 1994) developed the self-selection theory, applying Roy's model (1951) to migration studies. He … the individual investment decision theory (Human Capital theory), applying simulated data by Monte-Carlo method. The … theory of individual investment decisions allows us to analyze self-selection patterns across differences in wages and …

Hierarchical IPF : generating a synthetic population for Switzerland : ERSA 2011

Mueller, Kirill; Axhausen, Kay W. - 2011

Agent-based microsimulation models for land use or transportation simulate the behavior of agents over time, although at different time scales and with different goals. For both kinds of models, the initial step is the definition of agents and their relationships. Synthesizing the population of...

An analysis of the effects of the compact city on economic activities in Japan

Mizutani, Fumitoshi; Nakayama, Noriyoshi; Tanaka, Tomoyasu - 2015

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate how the form and urban policies of ga compact city h affect its economic activities. In general, bigger cities have more advantages such as agglomeration economies, but too-big cities have the disadvantages of external diseconomies such as...

Toolkit to estimate the organizational structure of Arctic industrial complexes

Tarasova, O. V. - 2014

Severe climatic conditions, low population density, lack of infrastructure leave as the only possible nodular economic development of Arctic territories of the Russian Federation. In this case, a natural question arises: how to define points of growth, how to delineate those "patches of economic...

The polar projection : an alternative approach for spatial analysis

Zipser, Tadeusz; Zipser, Wawrzyniec - 2011

The polar projection presented here results from the need to have a uniform yet fairly simple method for recording the various phenomena and relations pertaining to land development. The contact infrastructure anisotropy and variable population and development density lead to socioeconomic space...

Simulating the impact of compact city policy on two Korean cities : Daejeon and Hwaseong

Kim, Donghan; Han, Haejin - 2015

The notion of compact city has become an important planning agenda to achieve a sustainable urban future. Although there is no universally accepted definition of a compact city, in terms of land use, the concept generally focuses on high-density and mixed-use development along with the promotion...

Adaptive zoning and its effectiveness in spatial economic activity simulation

Hagen-Zanker, Alex; Jin, Ying - 2010

In modelling spatial economic interactions such as embodied in the movements of people and goods, the study area is usually subdivided into geographic units, i.e. zones, to represent the origin, destination and any stop-over locations. In most cases, model precision tends to improve as the study...

Dynamic tax competition under asymmetric productivity of public capital : a simulation analysis using an overlapping generations model within two large regions

Tanaka, Hiroki; Hidaka, Masahiro - 2010

We here expand the static tax competition models in symmetric small regions, which were indicated by Zodrow and Mieszkowski (1986) and Wilson (1986), to a dynamic tax competition model in large regions, taking consideration of the regional asymmetry of productivity of public capital and the...

Endogenous derivation of optimal environmental policies for proper treatment of stockbreeding wastes in the upstream region of Miyun Reservoir, Beijing

Yan, Jingjing; Xu, Feng; Mizunoya, Takeshi; Du, Huanzheng; … - 2010

Stockbreeding industries are increasing rapidly in rural areas around big cities in China, especially the rural areas around Beijing. This increase carries high risks to the environment due to emissions of large amounts of pollutants in terms of COD (chemical oxygen demand), T-N (total nitrogen)...

Development of multi-agent simulation model to uncertain civilian return trips during a hypothetical earthquake

Kagaya, Seiichi; Sasaki, Masato - 2013

Through the experiences of the Great 1994 Hanshin-Awaji earthquake and The Great 2011 (Higashi-Nihon) East Japan Earthquake, it has been important for Japanese local Government to build a comprehensive evacuation program on a large earthquake occurrence in near future. According to the experts'...
