Can we use NEG models to predict migration flows? An example of CEE accession countries
Kancs, d’Artis - 2005
predict migration flows for the period following the CEE’s integration with the EU. The main innovation of our approach is … that it endogenises both explanatory variables and the migration rate. The underlying structural parameters are estimated … econometrically using a migration equation, which is derived entirely from the theoretical NEG model. Our simulations show that even …

Fiscal transfers in the spatial economy
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias; Südekum, Jens - 2019
Many countries shift substantial public resources across jurisdictions to mitigate spatial economic disparities. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, labor mobility, and costly trade to carve out the aggregate implications of fiscal transfers. Calibrating the...

Fiscal transfers in the spatial economy
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias; Südekum, Jens - 2018
Many countries operate pronounced fiscal equalization schemes that shift tax revenue across jurisdictions. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, costly trade and labor mobility to carve out the aggregate implications of this policy. Calibrating the model for...

Cities, Regions and the Decline of Transport Costs
Glaeser, Edward L.; Kohlhase, Janet E. - 2003
The theoretical framework of urban and regional economics is built on transportation costs for manufactured goods. But over the twentieth century, the costs of moving these goods have declined by over 90% in real terms, and there is little reason to doubt that this decline will continue....

Quo vadis? Inequality and poverty dynamics across Russian regions
Yemtsov, Ruslan - 2003
This paper analyses regional data on inequality and poverty in Russia during 1994-2000 using published series from the regionally representative Household Budget Survey. The paper finds that the share of inequality in Russia coming from the between-regions component is large (close to a third of...

Geographical distribution of unemployment : an analysis of provincial differences in Italy
Cracolici, Maria Francesca; Cuffaro, Miranda; Nijkamp, Peter - 2007
Unemployment rates appear to vary widely at a subregional (e.g., local or provincial) level. Using spatial econometric models for spatial autocorrelation, this paper focuses attention on the spatial structure of regional unemployment disparities of Italian provinces. On the basis of findings...

Diagnostic tools for nonlinearity in spatial models
Graaff, Thomas de; 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...

Regional trade and logistics infrastructure : a spatial approach
Alamá, Luisa; Márquez-Ramos, Laura; Suárez, Celestino; … - 2011
This paper aims to analyze whether the existing logistics platforms network in Spain affects Spanish transport demand by using a spatial framework. In particular, we use demand for transport to export goods to other Spanish provinces as a proxy for logistics infrastructure demand in Spain. Then,...
