Aglomeração econômica e migração : uma análise para o caso Brasileiro
Albuquerque, Pedro H.; Cruz, Bruno de Oliveira; … - 2013
Interstate migration in Brazil represents almost 40% of total internal migration. This paper investigates the economic … causes of interstate migration flow. We apply Crozet's model the interaction of increasing returns and transportation cost on … the regional dynamics and migration flow in Brazil. We estimate structural parameters to the Brazilian economy, among …

Can we use NEG models to predict migration flows? An example of CEE accession countries
Kancs, d’Artis - 2005
predict migration flows for the period following the CEE’s integration with the EU. The main innovation of our approach is … that it endogenises both explanatory variables and the migration rate. The underlying structural parameters are estimated … econometrically using a migration equation, which is derived entirely from the theoretical NEG model. Our simulations show that even …

A theory of rational spatial agglomerations
Mossay, Pascal - In: Regional Science and Urban Economics 43 (2013) 2, pp. 385-394
We model the behavior of rational forward-looking agents in a spatial economy. The economic geography structure is built on Fujita et al. (1999)'s racetrack economy. Workers choose optimally what to consume at each period, as well as which spatial itinerary to follow in the geographical space....

A Simple Theory of Industry Location and Residence Choice
Borck, Rainald; Pflüger, Michael; Wrede, Matthias - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007
This paper provides a simple theory of geographical mobility which simultaneously explains people’s choice of residences in space and the location of industry. Residences are chosen on the basis of the utility which mobile households obtain across locations. The spatial pattern of industry is...

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...
