Wages, Rents, Unemployment, and the Quality of Life
Wrede, Matthias - European Regional Science Association - 2013
Combining a spatial equilibrium model with a search-matching unemployment model, this paper analyzes the willingness to pay for regional amenities and the regional quality of life when wages, rents, and unemployment risk compensate for local amenities and disamenities. The results are compared...

d'Artis Kancs; Brandsma, Andries; Persyn, Damiaan - European Regional Science Association - 2013
The present paper describes the modelling of regional labour markets in the newly developed dynamic spatial general equilibrium model RHOMOLO, where the labour market equilibrium is determined by firms' labour demand, a wage-curve determining unemployment, and inter-regional labour migration....

Sorted and Settled: Migration Decisions of Dual Income Families
Taskin, Ahmet Ali - European Regional Science Association - 2014
I analyze the interstate migration patterns of families and the effect of labor force attachment of women on joint migration decisions. I show that as the earned income of spouses become similar, the probability of migration falls substantially. This observation is robust in the sense that 1) it...

Discrete choice in spatial CGE models
Johannes Bröcker - European Regional Science Association - 2013
In classical Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models all decisions are about continuous quantities, represented by non-negative real numbers. In a spatial framework it is however natural to allow for discrete choices, like choice location of residence and/or and location of work. Another...
