Poverty rate and government income transfers: A spatial simultaneous equations approach
Jeanty, P. Wilner; Ulimwengu, John Mususa - International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - 2011
The poverty rate and income transfer are clearly correlated. However, not much research has attempted to determine the … causal linkage between the two. Previous research has primarily focused on the poverty-reducing impact of income transfer. In … relationship between the poverty rate and income transfer, using a sample of 3,001 U.S. counties. The results are in line with …

Measuring the effect of the real estate bubble: a house price index for Bilbao
TUSELL-PALMER, Fernando; Barcena, Maria J.; Mendez, Patricia - In: Papers presented during the Narodowy Bank Polski …
Houses are traded at relatively infrequent times and can hardly be standardized: two equally built and furnished houses may command widely different prices in the market on account of their different location or even orientation. Clearly, the computation of an index such as Laspeyres’ cannot...

Political interaction in the senate: estimating a political “spatial” weights matrix and an application to lobbying behavior
Chupp, B. - In: Public Choice 160 (2014) 3, pp. 521-538
Many motivations exist that cause legislators to behave strategically when voting. These include logrolling, towing the party line, or political favor trading. However, it has proven difficult in the existing literature to uncover the magnitude of the interaction among politicians. This paper...

Modeling local growth control decisions in a multi-city case: Do spatial interactions and lobbying efforts matter?
Schone, Katharina; Koch, Wilfried; Baumont, Catherine - In: Public Choice 154 (2013) 1, pp. 95-117
Our article analyzes the determinants of local growth control decisions, which are modeled as the result of a political struggle between different groups of voters and organized lobbies. We show that under specific hypotheses, a higher homeownership rate can induce lower levels of controls....

Constrained variants of the gravity model and spatial dependence: model specification and estimation issues
Griffith, Daniel; Fischer, Manfred - In: Journal of Geographical Systems 15 (2013) 3, pp. 291-317
In this paper, we distinguish three constrained variants of the gravity model of spatial interaction: doubly constrained, production constrained and attraction constrained exponential gravity models. These model variants include origin- and/or destination-specific balancing factors that act as...

Economic Growth and Regional Labor Market Development in German Regions: Okun’s Law in a Spatial Context
Oberst, Christian; Oelgemöller, Jens - Institut für Future Energy Consumer Needs and Behavior … - 2013
The inverse relationship between economic growth and labor market developments in the form of changes in the unemployment rate is known in economic literature as Okun’s law. The objectives of this paper are to estimate a regionalized Okun coefficient and its associated (regional) unemployment...

Network cities and externalities
Boix, Rafael - In: INVESTIGACIONES REGIONALES - Journal of REGIONAL RESEARCH (2004) 4, pp. 5-27
The concept of «agglomeration economies» explains the existence of advantages derived from the concentration of population and activity. However, it does not explain the existence of spatially dynamic external economies. Network economies generated in networks of cities correspond to this last...

A spatial model of regional per capita product: empirical evidence from the Spanish provinces, "comarcas" and municipalities
Alañon Pardo, Angel - In: INVESTIGACIONES REGIONALES - Journal of REGIONAL RESEARCH (2004) 4, pp. 99-114
This paper presents a model which explains per capita regional product as a function of spatial and non spatial variables. Spatial variables may act within and beyond its territory and are related to spatial phenomena such as spatial external economies or expenditure urban multipliers. The model...
