In Denmark in recent years there has been a substantial debate both popular and academic concerning the consequences of introducing road pricing - both the regional consequences and whether road pricing gives a double dividend by reducing environmental externalities and by financing a tax reform...

In this working paper the regional impacts of road pricing on cars are analysed taking into account externality effects from transportation on wages and productivity. In the paper the direct impacts from changes in transport costs on level of wages and productivity (=direct externality effects)...

The paper gives a mathematical presentation of the interregional general equilibrium model LINE, which is a sub-regional economic model for Danish municipalities. LINE is an extended version of a simple national general equilibrium model, where space and SAM-actors have been included. The basic...

The paper examines adaptations to regional accounts used to construct regional and interregional Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs). Balancing procedures for commodities and factors are transferred from National to Regional accounts and procedures to construct spatial data on interaction are also...

In the input-output tradition regional and interregional spill-over and feedback effects are related to changes in the real economic activities. However, the effects of changes in costs and prices on real economic activity have usually been neglected, despite the fact that the redistributive...

Thirty years after reunification, East and West Germany are still characterized by a considerable difference in satisfaction with democracy (SWD). This paper proposes and tests a model which assumes SWD to be shaped by the interests (economic and cultural) and moral values individuals demand to...

The literature on subjective well-being (SWB) and the environment has found robust evidence of positive net marginal SWB from pro-environmental behavior (PEB), that is, positive marginal SWB net of the associated costs in terms of money, time and effort (Finding 1). Accordingly, people could...

Previous literature has identified income, poor health and social relationships as the most important predictors of subjective well-being (SWB). In addition, the literature has identified a non-linear relationship between age and SWB, with a dip in SWB in mid-life. Explanations of the non-linear...
