ABSTRACTThis study investigates the parametric drift of a Verdoorn‐type relationship across Japan's center‐periphery continuum, using prefecture‐level data for the 1965–75 time horizon. Our results indicate that in and around Japan's core neutral technological progress and capital deepening tend to he higher, whereas scale and external economies tend to be lower. This spatial variation is consistent with product cycle and regional dynamics theories. The study implements the expansion method techniques and research phi

摘要:

ABSTRACTAn empirical procedure for differentiating between organized and competitive spatial oligopoly (or oligopsony) is proposed. The procedure evaluates pricing behavior using a time series of short‐term price data from spatially dispersed locations. Cooperation is implied when price changes at one location are matched instantly at others. Unidirectional price matching arises under price leadership. On the other hand, competitive spatial oligopoly involves lags and feedbacks, as well as stronger relationships between prices in contiguous marketing areas than between prices in spatially separated marketing areas. The procedure is applied in the context of a recent Competition Act case against Canadian meat packer

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to determine the future aggregate pressure of demographic factors on housing demand. Both the number and age compositions of Spanish households from 1980 to the year 2010 arc projected. To determine the actual net increase of the number of households, the analysis considers both the formation and destruction of households. The magnitude and profile of the projection shows that in the present decade the net yearly growth in the number of households will be slightly smaller than that of previous years. In the first decade of the next century, there will be a drastic reduction in the net growth of new households.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates several sources of uncertainty and their effects on the optimal timing of land development. The method of Meyer and Ormiston (1983, 1985) for strong increases in risk and their comparative statics, is applied. There arc three basic results. First, a strong increase in risk in the pre‐development income stream speeds the development process, regardless of whether the random effect is incorporated in an additive or multiplicative form in the model. Second, strong increases in risk in pre‐development property tax rates delay development. Finally, a strong increase in risk in the post‐development income stream results in a slower development pr

摘要:

ABSTRACTBy constructing a socioeconomic model within the framework of the multi regional general equilibrium theory, this paper proposes ii matrix fur an urban transport improvement project that illustrates thy relationship between benefit generation and incidence. On this matrix the benefit/loss associated with each sector (household, private firm, absentee landowner, public transport corporation, and government) and associated with each item (transport, land, tax, fare revenue, and project surplus/loss) are indicated clearly, so that the social efficiency and equity of the project can easily be discussed.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe Jacobian term appears in certain likelihood functions as a normalizing factor; it ensures that the use of variable transformations still leads to probability density functions whose complete integration yields unity. This term is particularly troublesome when dealing with spatial autoregressive models in that it requires numerically intensive solutions to accompanying parameter estimation problems. For these types of autoregressive models, the Jacobian term is a function of the eigenvalues of then‐bynconnectivity matrix that depicts the geographic configuration of the areal units under study. This paper reports on Jacobian approximation results, based upon supercomputer and other experiments, for irregular lattice

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis note addresses the role of survey information and expert opinion in constructing input‐output tables. In contrast to assuming polar positions between tables based on expert opinion and tables based on empirical observation, we argue that the distinction is not well‐defined. We provide, as evidence, a comparison of U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data on the use of commodities by industries with corresponding Bureau of the Census (BOC) Census of Manufacturers data on selected use of materials by industry (published as Census Table 7). Results show that changes in BEA data cannot be explained by corresponding changes in the Census data on which they are foun
