ABSTRACT.Nearly all regional input‐output models have been constructed without a proper accounting of inflows and outflows of personal income and personal consumption expenditures. Typically invoked is ano cross‐paymentsassumption, analogous to theno cross‐haulingassumption for commodities. We present a new accounting framework based on the classification of flows according to the location of income generation, receipt, and spending, and argue that only flows endogenous in all three respects should be part of a closed regional I‐O model. We use the framework to compute the upward bias in multipliers in a typical regional I‐O model. We also present several methods for estimating transbound

ABSTRACT.Traditional models of regional diversification do not capture the trade‐off between stability and living standards. In this paper, we characterize regions as open activity models subjected to both productivity and price shocks. We then partially rank small diversification policies by the direction in which they point away from the current industrial structure in mean‐variance space. Some general patterns emerge. In particular, diversificationforregional self‐sufficiency andaway fromregional comparative advantage may be undesi

ABSTRACT.A general equilibrium multiperiod linear programming model of urban land use is used to identify reverse commutation as a rational response to economic change. Information about future economic conditions is complete, and capital is replaceable at finite cost. Export mixes are defined exogenously, and temporal shifts between activities of different land intensities are shown to induce reverse commutes as one way of avoiding the cost of land use change.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.A recent debate in the regional economics literature has focused attention on the motivation behind an individual's decision to migrate. Human‐capital migration models emphasize labor market disequilibria whereas alternative (hedonic) migration models stress households’altered demand for nontraded goods. In this paper, we test the relative importance of these two possible motivations for moving between metropolitan areas. We use an intercity hedonic model to decompose wages into equilibrium and disequilibrium components. We then compare the separate influences of amenities and the disequilibrium component of wages on the distance moved between two metropolitan areas. Our findings indicate that both economic factors and amenity differentials are significant factors in explaining regional migrat

摘要:

ABSTRACT.In this paper we develop a method for establishing market definition in studies of intermodal competition. We employ the proposed method in a transportation model that yields estimates of the substitutability between truck and rail services for the transport of fresh fruits and vegetables. The model includes the produce being shipped as an input into the production of delivered produce. Our results demonstrate that fairly disaggregate market definitions are required to characterize adequately the intermodal substitution possibilities of interest. While disaggregate data are required for econometric estimation of the cost function, it is essential that elasticities be calculated at a disaggregate level as well. The elasticities reported are larger than reported in earlier work and provide strong evidence of vigorous intermodal competition in produce transportation markets.

摘要:

ABSTRACT.A pooled cross‐section time‐series approach is used to test the hypothesis that differences in property tax rates between and across regions exert an excise‐tax impact on housing starts. Synthesizing the research regarding property tax incidence on housing markets and residential location with that of regional housing studies, an empirical model that allows for inter‐ and intraregional influences on housing starts is developed. Using county data from Wisconsin over a twelve‐year span, I find that property tax rate differentials have a negative effect on the construction of single‐fa
