We apply spatial interaction models using panel data to explain commuting behaviour in the Netherlands. Our main conclusion is that the distance-decay effect is not constant over time and that changes in this effect are region specific. In more densely populated regions the change in the...

We investigate the interaction of regional population and employment in a simultaneous model. A focus on regional time series allows us to innovate in two ways on the ongoing causality debate in the literature. Firstly, a dynamic specification is proposed that generalizes the often assumed...

The understanding of migration behaviour is of key importance for regional population forecasting. This paper studies the phenomenon empirically, the results are to be applied in a regional labour market model that forecasts the spatial distribution of employment and labour force in the long...

We present a modified open monocentric city model that assumes that land is available for conversion into new housing throughout the city. The model predicts that positive local income shocks (i) increase the city’s share of multi-family housing in new construction and (ii) lead to the...
