Welfare benefits of agglomeration and worker heterogeneity
Teulings, Coen N.; Ossokina, Ioulia V.; Groot, Henri L. … - 2014
The direct impact of local public goods on welfare is relatively easy to measure from land rents. However, the indirect effects on home and job location, on land use, and on agglomeration benefits are hard to pin down. We develop a spatial general equilibrium model for the valuation of these...

Accounting for imputed and capital income flows in income inequality analyses
Frick, Joachim R.; Grabka, Markus M. - 2009
Using representative and consistent microdata from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP) from 1985-2007, we illustrate that capital income (CI = return on financial investments) and imputed rent (IR = return on investments in owner-occupied housing) have become increasingly important...

Income taxes, property values and migration
Glazer, Amihai (contributor); Kanniainen, Vesa (contributor) - 2005
We consider taxation by a utilitarian government in the presence of heterogeneous locations within a country. We show that a utilitarian government never equalizes after-tax incomes, even when it can impose group-specific lump-sum taxes. If migration is impossible, a utilitarian government may...

Who benefits from state corporate tax cuts? : a local labor markets approach with heterogeneous firms: comment
Malgouyres, Clément; Mayer, Thierry; Mazet-Sonilhac, … - 2021
Suárez Serrato and Zidar (2016) identify state corporate tax incidence in a spatial equilibrium model with imperfectly mobile firms. Their identification argument rests on comparative-statics omitting a channel implied by their model: the link between common determinants of a location's...

Can agricultural extension and input support be discontinued? : evidence from a randomized phaseout in Uganda
Fishman, Ram; Smith, Stephen C.; Bobić, Vida; … - 2019
A society that believes wealth to be determined by random "luck", rather than by merit, demands more redistribution. We present evidence of this behavior by exploiting a natural experiment provided by the L'Aquila earthquake in 2009, which hit a large area of Central Italy through a series of...

Equal opportunity through higher education : theory and evidence on privilege and ability
Arbel, Yuval; Bar-El, Ronen; Tobol, Yossi - 2017
We model a higher education system that admits students according to their admission signal (e.g., matriculation GPA, SAT), which is, in turn, affected by their cognitive ability and socioeconomic background. We show that subsidizing education loans increases neither human capital stock nor...

Eco-innovation and employment: a task-based analysis
Elliott, Robert J. R.; Kuai, Wenjing; Maddison, David; … - 2021
This paper provides some of the first evidence of the relationship between eco-innovation and employment. Adopting a O*NET based task approach, in a study of the Dutch firms, we show that eco-innovation has no impact on overall employment. However, compared to non- eco-innovators there is an...
