Job hopping and economic agglomeration in Germany

Fuchs, Michaela - 2012

This paper investigates whether labor mobility varies with the degree of agglomeration and, if so, how the differences … market, one of Marshall's famous three sources of agglomeration economies. Only a small number of studies have so far … to the still sparse literature on the effect of both urban and industrial agglomeration on labor market pooling. Taking …

How important are agglomeration effects for plant performance? : empirical evidence for Germany

Fuchs, Michaela; Ludewig, Oliver - 2010 - Preliminary version

The question whether agglomeration effects are of importance for regional development has a long tradition in regional … science. This paper asks if regional characteristics and specifically ag-glomeration effects influence the performance of … regional agglomeration effects for Germany. Second, while earlier papers looked only at few sectors of the economy or only at …

The pre-exit performance of German plants : how long is the "shadow of death"?

Fuchs, Michaela; Weyh, Antje - 2014 - Preliminary version

This paper deals with the question whether firms' employment performance in the periods preceding their exit can be regarded as casting a 'Shadow of Death' on their final leaving the market. This aspect is of high relevance for politicians and other decision-makers, because by knowing more about...

Agent teams and evolutionary computation : optimizing semi-parametric spatial autoregressive models

Krisztin, Tamás; Koch, Matthias - 2011 - Manuscript received January 26, 2011

Classical spatial autoregressive models share the same weakness as the classical linear regression models, namely it is not possible to estimate non-linear relationships between the dependent and independent variables. In the case of classical linear regression a semi-parametric approach can be...

Of cells and cities : a comparative econometric and cellular automata approach to urban growth modeling

Krisztin, Tamás; Vaz, Eric de Noronha; Koch, Matthias - 2011

This paper presents a comparative assessment of two distinct urban growth modeling approaches. The first urban model uses a traditional Cellular Automata methodology, based on Markov transition chains to prospect probabilities of future urban change. Drawing forth from non-linear cell dynamics,...

Time series and spatial interaction : an alternative method to detect converging clusters

Alexiadis, Stilianos; Koch, Matthias; Krisztin, Tamás - 2011

In this paper an attempt is made to assess the hypothesis of re- gional club-convergence, using a spatial panel analysis combined with B-Splines. In this context, a 'convergence-club' is conceived as a group of regions that in the long-run move towards steady-state equilib- rium, approximated in...

General equilibrium approach consistent with travel cost method for economic evaluation of Beach erosion by climate change

Nakajima, Kazunori; Sakamoto, Naoki - 2013

Numerous attempts have been made to evaluate economic impacts by climate change, and the evaluation method can be classified into two approaches. One is a partial equilibrium approach and the other is a general equilibrium approach. The former method includes a travel cost method (TCM) and a...

Measurement of use value and non-use value of environmental quality consistent with general equilibrium approach

Sakamoto, Naoki; Nakajima, Kazunori - 2014

This paper proposes the consistent method with general equilibrium models to measure use value and non-use value of large-scale change in environmental quality. First, we develop a general equilibrium model that parameters of the utility function with environmental quality as a dependent...
