    Mobility where mobility is illegal: Internal migration and city growth in the Soviet Union (1999)

    Notes: Abstract. This paper examines an important anomaly in the internal migration history of the former Soviet Union (FSU). While many cities were closed in the sense of explicitly limiting growth of city population from migration, it was difficult to assess the effectiveness of these controls. We analyze a sample of 308 Soviet cities to isolate the impact of closure regulations controlling for city size. We find that while there are pervasive patterns of city growth, the rate increasing through the 1960s and declining thereafter, there are also pervasive differences between controlled and uncontrolled cities, the later growing significantly faster in almost all cases, controlling for city size.

    Revenue Motives and Trade Liberalization (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Review of international economics 4 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-9396

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Governments in more-developed economies partially compensate import-competing industries when world prices fall, i.e., they lean against the wind. Less-developed economies often liberalize in response to the same shock. We use a political-support maximization model with revenue motives to derive conditions under which a rational policymaker would respond to lower woild prices by reducing tariff protection for an import-competing industry. An initial tariff that exceeds the maximum revenue level proves necessary but not sufficient for politically optimal liberalization following a fall in the world price of the importable good.

    Sibling Rivalry in Educational Attainment: The German Case (2001)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Labour 15 (2001), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-9914
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Recent studies exploring sibling rivalry in the allocation of household resources in the USA produce conflicting results. We contribute to this discussion by addressing the role of sibling rivalry in educational attainment in Germany. Using the German Socioeconomic Panel (GSOEP) we are able to distinguish how the effects of sibling rivalry vary by cultural affiliation, i.e. among families of West German, East German and foreign origin. We also point out and correct for a reference group problem in earlier papers analyzing sibling rivalry.

    Corruption, Tax Evasion and the Laffer Curve (2000)
    Springer
    Public choice 105 (2000), S. 61-78

    ISSN: 1573-7101

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract In a corrupt tax administration a rise in tax ratesets off complicated strategic moves by both taxpayersand administrators. It is shown that in somecircumstances, this may bring about Laffer likebehavior of overall tax revenue, i.e. a higher taxrate results in smaller net revenue for thegovernment. Further, a more intense tax effort byincreasing the number of returns audited may alsoreduce net revenues. Finally if tax and fine ratespositively influence the level of corruption in theadministration, these outcomes become more likely.

    Subsidy policies with capital accumulation: Maintaining employment levels (1989)
    Springer
    Journal of population economics 2 (1989), S. 301-318 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1475
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Abstract We study a dual economy model of growth and unemployment in the presence of Harris-Todaro type labor migration. The model is a discrete time model of economic growth with given population but endogenous migration of labor. The economy tries to reach “development” in the quickest possible time while not allowing unemployment to rise above a ‘socially acceptable’ level. We characterize situations under which maximizing the accumulation of capital in each period is optimal. We also study how particular taxes and subsidies affect unemployment and capital accumulation. Finally, we show that a higher initial capital stock does not necessarily mean a quicker attainment of self-sustained full employment.

    Labor market effects of immigration in the United States and Europe (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of population economics 7 (1994), S. 157-175 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1475
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the impact of immigrants on the income of various groups of resident workers in the United States and Europe. Our approach features the use of a production technology incorporating education, experience, and unskilled labor as inputs. This contrasts with the assumption used in earlier studies that native-born and immigrant labor are distinct inputs into production. We find that in both United States and European production, education, unskilled labor and experience are complementary inputs. Based on these results, simulations of the impact of immigration on residents are carried out. The absolute magnitude of these effects is found to be very small.

    Returns to returning (2000)
    Springer
    Journal of population economics 13 (2000), S. 57-79 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1475
    Keywords: JEL classification: J61, J24, F22 ; Key words: Return migration, earnings, self-selection
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Abstract. We examine the labor market performance of return migrants using the Hungarian Household Panel Survey. Two distinct selection issues are considered in the estimation of the earnings equation; we implement a natural method using MLE. The result that there is a “premium” to work experience abroad for women is robust across the models we considered. For men, the return to working abroad is not generally significant.

    Foreign aid and fiscal behavior in a bounded rationality model: Different policy regimes (1999)
    Springer
    Empirical economics 24 (1999), S. 121-134 
    Details
    ISSN: 1435-8921
    Keywords: Key words: Foreign aid ; India ; JEL classifications: H2 ; O1 ; F35
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract. We examine how the source of foreign aid affects the composition of the recipient government's spending. Does the source of aid – bilateral or multilateral – influence recipient policy-makers' choice between development and nondevelopment expenditure? We depart from previous literature by introducing strong asymmetries in policy-makers' preferences. With the financial constraints set by foreign aid and domestic revenues, this formalization allows us to model and estimate the fiscal behavior of government policy-makers in the presence of foreign aid.
