Musterd, Sako; Marcińczak, Szymon; van Ham, Maarten; … - 2015
Socio-economic inequality is on the rise in major European cities as are the worries about that, since this development is seen as threatening social cohesion and stability. Surprisingly, relatively little is known about the spatial dimensions of rising socioeconomic inequality. This paper...

Price indices on the basis of unit values: Unit value indices as proxies for price indices
von der Lippe, Peter - 2010
In some countries a Paasche price index based on unit values is compiled as a proxy for a true Paasche (or Laspeyres) price index on the basis of prices. This is for example the case in German foreign trade statistics. Unit values are average prices referring to a 'commodity number' (CN), that...

Centrality Bias in Inter-City Trade
Mori, Tomoya; Wrona, Jens - 2023
%-125% larger than predicted by gravity forces. This upward bias stems from aggregating across industries, which are hierarchically … distributed across large and small cities, and therefore does not arise in sectoral gravity estimations. When decomposing the …

Relative prices, trading gains, and real GDI: The case of Canada
Zheng, Yi - 2009
Treating imports as intermediate inputs to domestic production, the author adopts the translog function approach to model real gross domestic income (GDI) in Canada over the 19612006 period. She explores the role of price ratios, such as terms of trade and the real effective exchange rate, in...

A Spatial Perspective on European Integration: Heterogeneous Welfare and Migration Effects from the Single Market and the Brexit
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias - 2016
We use a quantitative model to study the implications of European integration for welfare and migration flows across 1,318 regions. The model suggests that an increase of trade barriers to the level of 1957 reduces welfare by about 1-2 percent on average, depending on the presumed trade...

The Eastern Enlargement of the Eurozone and Labour Market Adjustment
Kiander, Jaakko; Vaittinen, Risto; Paas, Tiiu - 2002
This paper analyses the economic effects of the eastern enlargement of the EU both on the existing Member States and the candidate countries using simulation results of a dynamic computable general equilibrium model. In addition to conventional trade policy impacts such as custom union formation...

The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics
Cuñat, Alejandro; Zymek, Robert - 2020
Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We … of people across space obey a structural gravity equation. By means of an application to data from Great Britain we show … that our structural-gravity framework: provides a rationale for quarantines; offers a clear mapping from observed geography …
