Domestic multinationals, foreign affiliates, and labour demand elasticities

Godart, Olivier N.; Görg, Holger; Greenaway, David - 2012

Using information on a panel of multinational firms operating in the United Kingdom from 1996 to 2005, we find that labour demand in domestic multinationals is less sensitive to labour cost changes than in foreign multinationals. This difference in the wage elasticity of labour demand persists...

The Impact of Integration on Productivity and Welfare Distortions Under Monopolistic Competition

Dhingra, Swati; Morrow, John - 2012

A fundamental question in monopolistic competition theory is whether the market allocates resources efficiently. This paper generalizes the Spence-Dixit-Stiglitz framework to heterogeneous firms, addressing when the market provides optimal quantities, variety and productivity. Under constant...

Price-dependent demand in spatial models

Gu, Yiquan; Wenzel, Tobias - 2012

This paper introduces price-dependent individual demand into the circular city model of product differentiation. We show that for any finite number of firms, a unique symmetric price equilibrium exists provided that demand functions are not too convex. As in the case of unit demand, the number...

The estimation of LES demand elasticities for CGE models

Kinnunen, Jouko; Tamminen, Saara; Jussila, Mira - Valtion taloudellinen tutkimuskeskus (VATT), Government … - 2012

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models require external parameters for proper estimations and can be relatively sensitive to the elasticity estimates used in them. We estimate LES demand elasticities and Frisch parameters for all Finnish household income deciles. These estimates will be...
