Violent conflict and behavior: A field experiment in Burundi (2012, background): “This has been documented, for example, for Japan by Davis and Weinstein (2002), for Germany by Brakman, Garretsen, and Schramm (2004), and for Vietnam by Miguel and Roland (2011).”
Regional Wage and Employment Responses to Market Potential in the EU (2005, methodology): “RMP could be estimated in a single-step wage equation as in Hanson (2005), Brakman et al. (2004), and Mion (2004).”
Economic Geography and Economic Development in Sub-Saharan Africa (2012, unknown): “Breinlich (2006) and Knaap (2006). We, however, decided to explicitly specify the country-specific determinants of trade (see also Elbadawi et al.”
Market Access and Individual Wages: Evidence from China (2010, methodology): “Other articles have applied cruder measures of market access to aggregate data to explain the impact of market proximity on income: Mion (2004) for Italy; De Bruyne (2003) for Belgium; Brakman et al. (2004) for Germany; and Amiti and Cameron (2007) for Indonesia.”
Human Capital, Geographical location and Policy Implications: The case of Romania (2010, background): “…has been done by testing the well known theoretical proposition that arises in standard core-periphery NEG models which is refer to as the nominal wage equation ((Brakman et al. 2004, Breinlich, 2006, Hanson, 2005, Overman et. al., 2003, Redding and Venables, 2004, Lopez-Rodriguez and Faiña, 2007).”
Putting New Economic Geography to the Test: Free-Ness of Trade and Agglomeration in the EU Regions (2005, background): “…for the substitution elasticity is relatively high (indicating relative weak economies of scale) but many studies find values in the range of 7– 11 (see for instance Broda and Weinstein, 2004 for sectoral evidence for the U.S.A. or Hanson and Xiang, 2004 for recent international evidence).”
A new economic geography model of central places (2011, background): “Estimations of the elasticity of substitution r is between 4.9 and 7.6 in the US (Hanson, 2005), whereas r would be around 3.9 for Germany and 1.9 for Italy (Brakman et al., 2004; Mion, 2004).”
