Competition in Multi-Modal Transport Networks : A Dynamic Approach
van der Weijde, Adriaan - 2012
We analyse the behaviour of market participants in a multi-modal commuter network where roads are not priced, but …, and markets in which separate operators own each public transport link. To do so, we consider a simple transport network … influenced by all fares in the network. We then use numerical simulations to show that, contrary to the results obtained in …

Why do empirical tests tend to accept the NEG? : an alternative approach to the 'wage equation' in European regions
Bruna, Fernando - 2015 - Draft 1.2, September 2015
This paper posits a new approach to the 'wage equation' of the New Economic Geography (NEG). On one side, it is shown that the NEG provides a spatial explanation of marginal costs, instead of wages. On the other side, and focusing on the statistical properties of the data, it is explained why...

Adding Geography to the New Economic Geography
Bosker, Erik Maarten; Brakman, Steven; Garretsen, Harry; … - 2021
For reasons of analytical tractability, new economic geography (NEG) models treat geography in a very simple way: attention is either confined to a simple 2-region or to an equidistant multi-region world. As a result, the main predictions regarding the impact of e.g. diminishing trade costs are...

Estimating road transport costs between EU regions
Persyn, Damiaan; Díaz-Lanchas, Jorge; Barbero, Javier - 2019
Transport costs are a crucial element of any spatial economic model. Surprisingly, good transport cost estimates at a detailed spatial level for the EU are not readily available. In this paper we address this issue by estimating a novel dataset of road freight transport costs for goods for the...

Closure in inter-regional knowledge networks : an application to the European co-publication network
Bergé, Laurent R. - 2014
methodological tools assessing network characteristics at the dyadic level are lacking for aggregated networks (such as the network … knowledge flows. To do so we first define a new measure to assess 'network proximity' at the level of the regional dyad, based … European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom). The studied network is then composed of all the …

Estimating foreign and national trade elasticities in the EU internal market using generalised transport costs
Zofío, José L.; Díaz-Lanchas, Jorge; Persyn, Damiaan; … - 2020
This paper undertakes the simultaneous estimation of import elasticities of substitution (trade elasticities) within European Union (EU) regions, differentiating between imports from regions belonging to the same country (national or interregional trade) and regions belonging to other EU...

The effects of regional subsidies to the spatial distribution of economic activity and welfare in the constructed capital model : paper for the ERSA 2010 conference, Jonkoping
Tafenau, Egle - 2010
The paper asks whether subsidies aiming to redistribute economic activity across regions can be justified with the welfare argument. Moreover, different tax systems are compared with respect to the size of the subsidy needed for achieving a certain spatial distribution of economic activity, and...
