Focusing on Indonesia, this study analyzes the relationship between inequality and the process of urbanization. It performs a panel data regression analysis to test the Kuznets inverted-U hypothesis for urbanization based on a provincial panel data set of 33 provinces over the period...

A relatively frequent problem when cross-classified data is needed (for example region <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$\times $$</EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"> <math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <mo>×</mo> </math> </EquationSource> </InlineEquation> industry) is that only aggregate (not cross-classified) data exists. Filling the gaps by combining data from diverse sources usually requires data conciliation. Ecological inference and...</equationsource></equationsource></inlineequation>

The link with subjective well-being has not been addressed in the literature of sustainability, the latter defined by social well-being improvement. We explicitly derive genuine savings as an indicator of sustainability inclusive of one form of subjective well-being, namely habit formation,...

With reference to the assumptions presented by Yamano and Ohkawara (J Reg Sci 40:205–229, <CitationRef CitationID="CR8">2000</CitationRef>) on the specification of a production function with region-specific individual effects on public capital, this paper introduces a new benchmark index in order to analyze the Japanese government’s...</citationref>

The purpose of this paper is to extend the economic literature regarding the questions of (1) how consumers choose the size of their vehicles; (2) how privately optimal choices of vehicle size may diverge from socially optimal choices; and (3) how privately optimal choices can be better...

Local production is a central theme in sustainable development and is of increasing current interest in e.g. food and energy production. This paper extends the classical Hotelling duopoly model of spatial competition to allowing for local production at the household level. The model is applied...

It’s been suggested a number of times that the significance of the estimated coefficient of the spatial lag of the dependent variable may be the result of an omitted common factor which may be spatially correlated-see, among others, (Gibbons and Overman in J Reg Sci 52:172–191 <CitationRef CitationID="CR3">2012</CitationRef> and...</citationref>

Due to criticisms of potential identification issues within spatial panel data models, this study contributes to the literature by comparing forecasts of province-level carbon dioxide emissions against empirical reality using dynamic, spatial panel data models with and without fixed effects....

This paper analyzes asymmetric tax competition under formula apportionment. It sets up a model with multinationals where two welfare-maximizing jurisdictions of different size levy source-based corporate taxes and allocate taxes using the formula approach. At the Nash equilibrium, tax rates are...
