One of the main concerns associated with the development and use of regional CGE models is the determination of key parameter values, particularly substitution and other price elasticities. A common problem is the lack of appropriate regional data for econometric estimation. Consequently, it is...

General analyses of household income at expenditure side as well as comparison of wage differences and mean net equalized income are mostly based on nominal comparisons. Regional indexes at regional level are not available at most European countries, so there is problem to estimate real wages...

We compute demand and supply multipliers in order to compare them. These multipliers are computed by using a CGE model. The analysis is applied to two regional economies, Catalonia and Extremadura, so we can compare the results of both economies. We build a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE)...

The Flemish economy is a very open economy and as such heavily relies on trade with both the neighbouring economies as well as more distanced economies and it also tries to attract foreign direct investments.

Regional GDP is a key indicator in the assessment of the economic performance of the Belgian regions. But for assessing the wealth of a certain region, another important indicator is the household disposable income.In this paper the evolution since 1985 and the level of regional per inhabitant...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the network effect on the probability of job finding. This paper uses a specific data set from the Izmir region, prepared by the Turkish Statistical Institute for a specific project carried out by Izmir University of Economics in cooperation with the Izmir...
