Self-employment career patterns in the Netherlands: exploring individual and regional differencesThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 71 - Trang 601-625 - 2022
Franziska Bay, Sierdjan Koster
Although the self-employed represent 16.7% of the Dutch labor force (OECD 2020),
their internal heterogeneity in profiles regarding motivations, characteristics
and career trajectories remains unclear. Yet, understanding self-employment
profiles and their spatial distribution may help understand differences in
career progression of the self-employed. This study identifies and describes
patterns in... hiện toàn bộ
Seasonality in the San Diego economyThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 9 - Trang 91-101 - 1975
Arthur E. Kartman
The Union-Tribune Index, a basic source of economic data for San Diego County,
is seasonally adjusted using the X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal
Adjustment Program. In this study, the resulting description of seasonal
patterns was evaluated using additional statistical techniques. Specifically,
the X-11 Program's Test for Stable Seasonality (an analysis of variance) was
extended throu... hiện toàn bộ
Exclusion theorem in an efficiency wage modelThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 38 - Trang 13-24 - 2004
Chung-cheng Lin, Chao-cheng Mai, Ching-chong Lai
This paper uses Shapiro and Stiglitz’s (1984) efficiency wage model embodying
the firm’s choice of location to show the existence of an optimal intermediate
location without assuming a transport rate that increases with distance. Based
on the viewpoint of Shapiro and Stiglitz, we demonstrate that the more time that
the worker spends traveling to the plant, the higher will be the wage that the
firm... hiện toàn bộ
Metropolitan development in the San Francisco Bay AreaThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 22 - Trang 11-33 - 1988
Darrell Hoerter, Michael Wiseman
This paper describes metropolitan development in the San Francisco Bay Area in
the style of E. M. Hoover and R. G. Vernon's classic 1950's study of the New
York metropolitan area,Anatomy of a Metropolis. The analysis concentrates on
trends in microelectronics manufacturing as the region's export base, new
developments in the business service sector, the competition between San
Francisco's downtown... hiện toàn bộ
Differences in spatial pricing in the United States: A statistical analysis and case studiesThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 18 - Trang 49-66 - 1984
M. L. Greenhut, M. Hwang, S. Shwiff
This paper focuses attention on spatial pricing patterns of American firms. It
identifies price strategies by statistical comparison of firms in Colorado with
those located elsewhere in the United States. Competitive factors are found
generally to dominate the pricing schedules of firms in other states, while the
pricing schedules of Colorado firms are found to be influenced chiefly by demand

A labor market based theory of regional economic developmentThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 34 - Trang 131-145 - 2000
Vijay K. Mathur, Frank M. Song
The Borts and Stein (1964) theory of regional economic growth and development
has been widely accepted and discussed in regional economic development
literature. Given their assumption that labor demand conditions are invariant
between regions and that the labor demand is highly wage elastic, they conclude
that regional growth is primarily supply driven and differences in growth among
regions aris... hiện toàn bộ
Decomposing regional income inequality in China and Indonesia using two-stage nested Theil decomposition methodThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 37 - Trang 55-77 - 2003
Takahiro Akita
The objective of this paper is to present an inequality decomposition method,
the two-stage nested Theil decomposition method, which is an extension of the
ordinary one-stage Theil decomposition method. The method is analogous to a
two-stage nested design in the analysis of variance (ANOVA). It considers the
three-level hierarchical structure of a country: region-province-district, and
decomposes ... hiện toàn bộ
