A substantial number of studies have extended the work on universal properties in physical systems to complex networks in social, biological, and technological systems. In this paper, we present a complex networks perspective on interfirm organizational networks by mapping, analyzing and...

Policy-induced boom in non-bank funding enabled prosperity in the technology sector and large corporate issuers. At the same time, income growth remained stagnant in low-to-middle-skill jobs and peripheral areas amid persistent job polarization, and combination of asset price appreciation and...

The delocation of firms is often viewed as a major outcome of a stiff environmental policy. In this paper, we study the impact of a strict anti-pollution policy pursued by a government on domestic firms locational decisions and determine the main variables that interact with such a policy. Some...

Traditional cross-sectional estimates of hedonic price functions theoretically can recover marginal willingness to pay for characteristics, but face endogeneity problems when some characteristics are unobserved. To help overcome such problems, economists have introduced difference-in-differences...

This paper explores the importance of continuity assumptions in hedonic price functions. Using a set of actual housing data to mimic a realistic city, and using a set of known preference orderings, it simulates a housing market to recover equilibrium prices. It then estimates price regressions...

This study shows that the 2014 tax reform in Chile (Law No. 20.780) caused a significant increase in housing sales prices. We exploit the way tax regulation was applied in Chile to generate an analysis framework based on a natural experiment. By applying difference-in-difference estimation...

In this paper, we examine the movement of container freight in, out and around the third largest maritime port in the United States and the use of toll facilities by these freight movements. Understanding how road pricing affects freight activity is of significant interest to transport planners,...

En el presente documento se hace una revisión de los planteamientos más importantes de la Teoría de los Lugares Centrales (TLC) formulada por Walter Christaller, así como una exploración de los diferentes intentos de modelación que se han hecho de esta teoría en la economía espacial....

Gibt es in einem räumlichen Markt einzelwirtschaftliche und/oder gesamtwirtschaftliche, wohlfahrtstheoretische Anreize zur vertikalen Integration zweier Marktstufen in einer organisatorischen Einheit (Konzern)? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wird ein Modell vorgestellt, in dem die Standorte der...

This paper examines the impact of oligopsony power on the location decision of undifferentiated oligopolistic firms with free entry. In the case where the distance of an oligopolistic firm from the output market is held constant, it shows that the optimum location moves away from the...
