We characterize the set of equilibria in a generalized version of the two-region economic geography model that nests the class of models in Allen and Arkolakis (2014) as well as Krugman (1991). We show that the set of (regular) equilibria corresponds to the set of zeros of a function V(x), where...

Previous literature has argued that the introduction of wind power significantly in creases grid congestion. This would potentially impose a negative effect on how regional production is allocated among generators (i.e., regional allocative efficiency). By com paring a U.S. regional electricity...

The paper examines the nature and pattern of development of the Indian organized manufacturing industries across Indian states using the Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) plant level data. Four different indices of industrial concentration have been used to estimate the degree of agglomeration...

For the purpose of spatial distribution characteristics of heavy metal elements investigation, topographic analysis, land use status and irrigation water factors were analyzed with a view to detailed source identification of heavy metals. In this study, multivariate statistical analysis methods,...

This paper analyzes the determinants of the supply of enlistees to the U.S. Army, using quarterly data from 1975:4 through 1982:3 for the 50 states and the District of Columbia. For high-quality enlistees, defined as those with test scores in the top half of the population or top scoring...

Larger Indian firms selling inputs to other firms tend to have more customers, tend to be used more intensively by their customers, and tend to have larger customers. Motivated by these regularities, I propose a novel empirical model of trade featuring endogenous formation of input-output...

Abstract: This paper employs unique data collected manually to count the capital net inflows of 31 provinces in China from 2015 to 2020 and measures the theoretical gap of capital demand for each province in the sample interval using the Three-gap Model. Based on this, we describe the...

The disparities in the development of a country’s regions could threat the social and political equilibrium of a nation. In general, the reduction of such disparities is a complex task for the governments, involving substantial resources and long periods of time. This paper approaches the...

By accounting for the structural heterogeneity between northern and southern economies, this paper estimates fiscal multipliers resulting from shocks to current public expenditure, total public revenues and public investment in Italian regions. The estimation is carried out by estimating a panel...

The Status of the World’s Soil Resources Report identified in 2015 soil pollution as a major threat to all the services provided by soils (FAO and ITPS, 2015). This paper develops a spatial growth model for an agricultural economy where pollution diffuses in the soil. In order to produce, the...
