The Paper studies the effects and the determinants of interregional redistribution in a model of residential and political choice. We find that paradoxical consequences of interjurisdictional transfers can arise if people are mobile: while self-sufficient regions are necessarily identical with...

We present a general equilibrium model of imperfect competition to analyze Rosenstein-Rodan's idea of the 'Big Push'. Simultaneous investment of many sectors of the economy can be profitable for everyone although no sector can break even industrializing alone. The mechanism that generates such...

We present a general equilibrium model of imperfect competition to analyze different policy measures in transition economies. Due to strategic complementarities in technology choice and demand spillovers, the possibility of multiple macroeconomic equilibria arises. Those equilibria can be...

The effect of a static electric field on the crystal structure of <InlineEquation ID="Equ1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\alpha $</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>-quartz has been determined by Xray diffraction on single crystals. By a stroboscopic technique rocking curves are measured quasi simultaneously for zero field and for two opposite strong fields (28.8 kV/cm) applied in...</equationsource></inlineequation>

The paper studies the effects and the determinants of interregional redistribution in a federation of jurisdictions among which households are mobile. Each jurisdiction controls a local redistributive policy that is democratically chosen by its residents. Paradoxical consequences of...
