Fiscal transfers in the spatial economy
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias; Südekum, Jens - 2019
Many countries shift substantial public resources across jurisdictions to mitigate spatial economic disparities. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, labor mobility, and costly trade to carve out the aggregate implications of fiscal transfers. Calibrating the...

Fiscal transfers in the spatial economy
Henkel, Marcel; Seidel, Tobias; Südekum, Jens - 2018
Many countries operate pronounced fiscal equalization schemes that shift tax revenue across jurisdictions. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, costly trade and labor mobility to carve out the aggregate implications of this policy. Calibrating the model for...

Compensation of regional unemployment in housing markets
Vermeulen, Wouter; Ommeren, Jos van - 2005
Why are regional unemployment differentials in Europe so persistent if, as the wage curve literature demonstrates, there is no compensation in labour markets? We hypothesize that workers in high-unemployment regions are compensated in housing markets. Modelling regional unemployment...

The local determinants of crime victimization
Hémet, Camille - 2014
This paper explores the determinants of crime victimization at the neighborhood level, using data from the French victimization survey. The very local nature of the data enables me to tackle the endogenous location selection issue: once I control for the characteristics of a larger area into...
