ABSTRACTGoods production and services have become increasingly integrated within a flexible, information‐oriented system of production organization. In this context, it is argued here that producer services–carried out both within manufacturing firms and by “independent” enterprises–play a pivotal role in expanding the division of labor, productivity, and per capita income. This proposition is supported by results of an empirical analysis of metropolitan areas in major U.S. regions and in the nation a

ABSTRACTLittle evidence is currently available on the regional growth effects of federal defense spending. In this study, econometric models for state personal income and manufacturing employment between 1976 and 1985 are specified and estimated. Pooled cross‐sectional time‐series data are used, and the estimation procedure corrects for serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, and contemporaneous cross‐sectional correlation. The results indicate that aggregate defense spending has a positive effect on both growth measures. However, when defense expenditures are disaggregated, onlyinvestment‐typeoutlays appear to consistently affect state economic

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn Hotelling location models, an implicit assumption has been made that a customer uses the service provided by the firm, independent of other customers. However, for firms that supply meeting rooms, wedding halls, tennis courts, and golf links it is essential to incorporate the fact that the customer only uses the service in conjunction with other customers. The objective of this paper is to formulate the Hotelling location model n consideration of the interdependence among customers in one‐dimensional space, and to characterize the state of equilibrium. In our model, each group of members within a given distance enjoys a fixed amount of service of the firms, under the assumption that the travel cost incurred by each group is defined as the travel cost of the farthest customer in the grou

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we outline the specification and estimation of a time series of multiregional net‐migration equations subject to first‐order serial correlation. We show that the necessary nonstochastic adding‐up constraint, which requires that net migration in the system sum to zero, imposes restrictions on the serial‐correlation coefficients. We estimate equations under these restrictions using data for the ten Canadian provinces for the period 1962‐1985. The results confirm the significance of the serial‐correlation coefficient and, hence, the importance of incorporating this correction in future time‐series models of multiregio

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper questions the plausibility of the assumption of interregional equilibrium in recent research into migration and the valuation of amenities in the United States. It is shown that it is difficult to develop a satisfactory explanation for continuing net migration which is compatible with the equilibrium assumption, and that recent relevant research generally fails to support the idea that the U.S. economy is in equilibrium. The association of higher rent levels with in‐migration is explained as a short‐run phenomenon. If the spatial economy is in disequilibrium, then the valuations of amenities assuming equilibrium will be biased, being probably too low in areas of net in‐migration and too high in areas of net out‐mi

摘要:

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I adapt to the regional level a Bayesian approach developed by Zellner, Hong, and Min (1990) to analyze forecasts of turning points in a multicountry setting. The techniques applied to a regional setting treat the individual metropolitan areas in the same way that Zellner, Hong, and Min treated countries. The findings in this study indicate that the techniques and models employed by Zellner, Hong, and Min work just as well at the metropolitan‐area level as they did in the multicountry setting. The best models, from those studied here, forecast around 70 percent of the downturns and 80 percent of the upturns correctly, which compares favorably to the performance of the same techniques in Zellner, Hong, and Mi

ABSTRACTIn this paper, I present an axiomatic basis for the neoclassical model of household location in a monocentric urban area. I generalize the existing framework and demonstrate that many of the conclusions derived using parametric models continue to hold even without the popularly assumed well‐behaved utility and transportation cost function
