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...

Regional implications of financial market development : credit rationing, trade, and location ; conference paper
Ehrlich, Maximilian von; Seidel, Tobias - 2013
We develop a heterogeneous-firms model with trade in goods, labor mobility and credit constraints due to moral hazard. Mitigating financial frictions reduces the incentive of high-skilled workers to migrate to one region such that an unequal distribution of industrial activity becomes less...

Quality of life in a dynamic spatial model
Ahlfeldt, Gabriel M.; Bald, Fabian; Roth, Duncan; … - 2020
We develop a dynamic spatial model in which heterogeneous workers are imperfectly mobile and forward-looking and yet all structural fundamentals can be inverted without assuming that the economy is in a stationary spatial equilibrium. Exploiting this novel feature of the model, we show that the...
