Many state-level policies impact the location decisions of both employees and employers. As most jobs require some form of commute, one such state-level policy impacting location choices are speed limits.

This study analyzes the effects of binding local speed limits on crash frequency on German motorways. Various geo-spatial data sources are merged to a new data set providing rich information on characteristics for 500-meter segments of large parts of the German motorway network. The empirical...

The interaction of debt and economic performance has been getting more at-tention over the last few years. However, models making provision for debt are still out-numbered by models completely ignoring it. This paper is the first one to analyze therelationship between household debt (in the form...

We highlight a trade-off between speed (the rate at which behaviours propagate in the population) and resilience (the measure of initial adopters required for spreading) in models of threshold contagion: contagion is faster in networks where it is harder to initiate contagion. We derive various...
