Stress That Doesn't Pay : The Commuting Paradox
Stutzer, Alois; Frey, Bruno S. - 2004
People spend a lot of time commuting and often find it a burden. According to economics, the burden of commuting is chosen when compensated either on the labor or on the housing market so that individuals? utility is equalized. However, in a direct test of this strong notion of equilibrium, we...

Limits to industrial agglomeration
Junius, Karsten - 1996
This paper presents an economic geography model to show the spatial effects of economic integration. While other authors mainly focused on the explanation of cumulative causation effects that lead to complete concentration or absolutely equal dispersion of industries, this paper explains why...

Strategic location behaviour: Temporal and spatial proximity in situation of agglomeration effects
Mayer, Thierry; Mucchielli, Jean-Louis - 1996
We address the question of competition within the location choices of firms. In a framework of agglomeration effects, both spatial and temporal dimensions of the firms' decisions are studied. We show that the competition consequences of preemptive move and optimal time of entry can interfere...

Agglomeration and growth with and without capital mobility
Baldwin, Richard; Forslid, Rikard; Martin, Philippe J.; … - 2001
This paper presents a simple framework in which the location and the growth rate of economic activities are endogenous and interact. We show that the nature of the equilibrium and of the relation between growth and location depends fundamentally on whether capital is assumed to be mobile (in...

Mobility and reliefs for traveling expenses to work
Wrede, Matthias - 1999
This paper proposes the question whether or not traveling expenses to work should be deductible from the income tax base. In order to answer this question, a simple model of (im-) perfect household and worker mobility is employed. The focus of the analysis is on the efficient use of land and the...

Trade and Location with Horizontal and Vertical Multi-Region Firms
Ekholm, Karolina; Forslid, Rikard - 1998
This paper analyses the effect on agglomeration tendencies of allowing firms to become multi-region firms in a standard model of trade and location. More specifically, we introduce horizontal and vertical multi-region firms into the core-periphery (CP) model developed by Krugman (1991). The...

Does city Structure affect the labor market outcomes of black workers?
Selod, Harris; Zenou, Yves - 2003
In this paper, location choices are driven by households (both blacks and whites) consciously choosing to trade off proximity to neighbors of similar racial backgrounds for proximity to jobs. Because of coordination failures in the location choices, multiple urban equilibria emerge. There is a...
