Cherchye, Laurens; Rock, Bram de; Vermeulen, Frederic - 2010
We propose a collective labor supply model with household production that generalizes an original model of Blundell, Chiappori and Meghir (2005). In our model, adults' individual preferences do not only depend on own leisure and individual private consumption of market goods. They also depend on...

The impact of the German autobahn net on regional labor market performance : a study using historical instrument variables
Möller, Joachim; Zierer, Marcus - 2014
This paper analyzes the impact of the German autobahn net on the economic performance of German regions. To address endogeneity and reverse causation problems, we use historical instrument variables, i.e. a plan of the railroad net in 1890 and a plan of the autobahn net in 1937. We find a...

High-speed railways and firms total factor productivity : evidence from a quasi-natural experiment
Bottasso, Anna; Conti, Maurizio; Ferrara, Antonella Rita; … - 2023
The focus of this study is to assess the causal impact of the connection of a local area to a high-speed rail network (HSR) on firms' total factor productivity (TFP). The quasi-random location of the HSR station in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia is exploited in a Difference-in Differences...

Hirsch, Barry T.; Husain, Muhammad M.; Winters, John V. - 2016
Multiple job holding rates differ substantially across U.S. regions, states, and metropolitan areas. Rates decrease markedly with respect to labor market size. These patterns have been largely overlooked, despite being relatively fixed over (at least) the 1998-2014 period. This paper explores...
