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
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 patt...... hiện toàn bộ
Industry-region load profiles: econometric estimation based on marginal totalsThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 30 - Trang 223-246 - 1996
Frank T. Denton, Christine H. Feaver, Dean C. Mountain, A. Leslie Robb, Byron G. Spencer
A theoretical model and a two-stage econometric estimation procedure are proposed for determining the parameters of industry-region-specific cost, input-demand, or other functions using grouped data. The model and estimation procedure are appropriate when only marginal totals or averages are available, or when data are classified by both region and industry but many cells are empty or sparsely rep...... hiện toàn bộ
Mixed land uses, land-use externalities, and residential property values: A reevaluationThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 16 - Trang 1-24 - 1982
Than Van Cao, Dennis C. Cory
Empirical evidence concerning the impact of neighborhood land-use externalities on residential property value is mixed. That is, no concensus has emerged in the literature as to whether locating non-residential land-use activities in residential neighborhoods can be expected to increase, decrease or leave unaltered surrounding property values. The purpose of this research was two-fold: 1) to const...... hiện toàn bộ
Distance decay function in criminal behavior: a case of IsraelThe Annals of Regional Science - Tập 41 - Trang 673-688 - 2007
Arye Rattner, Boris A. Portnov
Nearly a half of property crimes in major cities of Israel are committed by offenders who live outside these cities, with the numbers of crime-perpetrators dropping steadily as distances between the places of criminal residences and the central city increase. However, the situation is different for localities in which offenders reside. In many cases, property offenders travel considerable distance...... hiện toàn bộ
