We look at the effect of domestic redistribution policy on offshoring in an asymmetric two country model of … monopolistic competition, heterogeneous firms and occupational choice. The redistribution scheme is modeled by a combination of a … progressive income tax and a lump-sum transfer. We find that the redistribution scheme lowers the degree of globalization measured …

Baur, Dirk G. - 2019

This paper uses a simple model based on the board game Monopoly to analyze the drivers of house prices and wealth inequality. Simulations show that inequality generally builds up fast even if players have equal starting conditions and house prices are stable; rising house prices imply more...

Unequal cities : self-selection, matching, and the distribution of income

Behrens, Kristian; Pokrovsky, Dmitry - 2013

We develop a model of a city populated by heterogeneous agents. Agents self-select into entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs set up firms which hire workers. We characterize the equilibrium matching between firms and workers, as well as the within-city assignment of agents to locations. We then...

Unilateral tax policy in the open economy

Kohl, Miriam; Richter, Philipp M. - 2019

This paper examines the effects of unilateral tax policy in the open economy. We construct a general equilibrium trade model with heterogeneous agents allowing for country asymmetries. We find that in contrast to a symmetric country set-up the share of exporting firms is endogenous. We show that...

Allocating collective expenditure : the case of education

Riedel, Lukas; Stichnoth, Holger - 2021

Creating distributional national accounts (DINA; e.g. Piketty, Saez, and Zucman 2018) requires the allocation of all government expenditure to individuals in order to compute their post-tax, post-transfer income. A sizeable part of government expenditure is in-kind spending, either in the form of...
