The impact of risk and mobility in dualistic models : migration under random shocks
Martins, Ana Paula - In: Journal of economics, finance & administrative science 20 (2015) 38, pp. 2-20
In this paper we present and confront the expected outcome of an increase in risk on the regional or sectoral allocation of labor force and employment. The basic frameworks are the benchmark dualistic scenarios. A single-input analysis of a homogeneous product economy is provided. Uncertainty is...

Compliance with the institutional wage in dualistic models
Martins, Ana Paula - 2011
This research extends simple two-sector models in order to inquire the impact of the extent of coverage or enforcement of minimum wage legislation in one of the sectors on the equilibrium outcome. Two versions of institutional wage avoidance are presented. They may be seen as representing...

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...

The mechanics of dualistic models : "comparable" structures and comparative statics results
Martins, Ana Paula - 2014
In this paper we present and confront the main comparative static results - effects of labor supply, demand and institutional wage movements - of the (a) basic two-sector model in six different scenarios: free market; partial (one-sector) coverage with perfect intersector mobility; partial...

A theory of migration as a response to occupational stigma
Stark, Oded; Fan, C.Simon - 2010
A theory is developed of labor migration that is prompted by a desire to avoid social humiliation. In a general … equilibrium framework it is shown that as long as migration can reduce humiliation sufficiently, migration will occur even between … two identical economies. Migration increases the number of individuals who choose to perform degrading jobs and …

Integration, mobility, and human capital formation
Haupt, Alexander; Uebelmesser, Silke - 2010
In this note, we show that labour market integration can be a double-edged sword. In the presence of local human capital externalities, integration and the ensuing agglomeration of skilled labour can cause a decline in human capital and the total wage sum (net of education costs). In particular,...
