This paper tries to demonstrate the usefulness of a fractal analysis for characterising the morphology of built-up areas within the peri-urban fringe. Methodology and expectations are discussed theoretically and geometrically. An empirical analysis is then performed on the southern periphery of...

The paper analyses the impact of economic integration on individual inequality and regional disparity in a model of endogenous growth and geography. Assuming localised learning externalities and perfect mobility of capital, trade integration of economies yields a trade-off for the policy maker...

We apply a Bayesian hierarchical Poisson spatial interaction model to the paper trail left by patent citations between high-technology patents in Europe to identify and measure spatial separation effects of interregional knowledge flows. The model introduced here is novel in that it allows for...

We develop an urban equilibrium job search model with employed and unemployed individuals where residential mobility of the unemployed is restricted. We assume a standard mono-centric model (firms are located in one location), but allow for imperfect labour markets. In contrast to models with...

This paper investigates regional variations in household welfare program and labour force participation behaviour in the United States. A choice-theoretic model is developed and estimated for each of the major census regions (Northeast, Midwest, South and West) using cross-section data on...

This paper examines the sources of disturbances to short-term and long-term output variations in the French regions. We use an error-components model that decomposes decentralised output movements into common national, industry-specific, region-specific, and idiosyncratic effects. We find that...

We integrate parking in a simple manner into the basic monocentric model. In equilibrium, the city divides into three zones. Closest to the CBD are parking lots, with residential housing further out. Residents contiguous to the parking lots walk to work. Those in the last band drive to a parking...
