Can we use NEG models to predict migration flows? : an example of CEE accession countries
Kancs, D'Artis - 2005
In this paper we develop an analytically solvable and structurally estimable economic geography model and apply it to 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...

Moreover, a tax … addition to core-periphery equilibria, exhibits stable equilibria with partial agglomeration. We show that a tax differential … may arise as an equilibrium of the tax game even when there is only partial agglomeration and the mobile factor does not …

Spatial Chow-Lin models for completing growth rates in cross-sections
Polasek, Wolfgang - 2013
Growth rate data that are collected incompletely in cross-sections is a quite frequent problem. Chow and Lin (1971) have developed a method for predicting unobserved disaggregated time series and we propose an extension of the procedure for completing cross-sectional growth rates similar to the...

Market entry regulation and international competition
Bayındır-Upmann, Thorsten; Stähler, Frank - 2003
As a part of their industry or competition policies governments decide whether to allow for free market entry of firms or to regulate market access. We analyze a model where governments (ab)use these policy decisions for strategic reasons in an international setting. Multiple equilibria of this...

Foreign direct investment and environmental taxes
De Santis, Roberto A.; Stähler, Frank - 2000
This paper discusses environmental policies in response to foreign direct investment (FDI) in a symmetrie two-country setting, where firms' behavior affects government policy decisions. We show that two alternative equilibria with FDI are possible: (i) one with unilateral FDI, where one firm is...
