Distributional Effects of Local Minimum Wage Hikes : A Spatial Job Search Approach
Zhang, Weilong - 2019
This paper develops and estimates a spatial general equilibrium job search model to study the effects of local and universal (federal) minimum wage policies. In the model, firms post vacancies in multiple locations. Workers, who are heterogeneous in terms of location and education types, engage...

The pure effect of social preferences on regional location choices: the evolving dynamics of convergence to a steady state population distribution
Stark, Oded; Budziński, Wiktor; Kosiorowski, Grzegorz - 2019
, holding their incomes constant. Conditions are provided under which the associated dynamics reaches a spatial steady state …, the number of periods it takes to reach a steady state is specified, and light is shed on the robustness of the steady … state outcome. By way of simulation it is shown that for large populations, a steady state of the relocation dynamics is …

The impact of federal social policies on spatial income inequalities in Germany : empirical evidence from social security data
Bruckmeier, Kerstin; Schwengler, Barbara - 2009
Fast zwanzig Jahre nach der deutschen Wiedervereinigung gibt es immer noch erhebliche regionale Einkommensunterschiede zwischen West- und Ostdeutschland. Der Artikel soll zeigen, wie die Transferzahlungen des Staates diese Einkommensdisparitäten ausgleichen. In einem ersten Schritt untersuchen...
