Whilst local pay differentials lie at the heart of most models of local labour markets, not enough is known about the size and trends of such differentials in Great Britain. This study is based on a new data set, derived from Inland Revenue and Department of Social Security statistics, for a 1...

The effects of price ceilings on market equilibrium are traditionally analyzed either in terms of a competitive or monopolistic environment. In this paper, simple diagrammatic models of the effects of price ceilings are presented under Cournot oligopoly, with and without free entry. In both...
