If you have a question about this talk, please contact Clare Eaves. Professor Mutl will give a talk based on his paper of the same name (co-authored by Eckhardt Bode). This paper proposes a new approach for testing nonlinear New Economic Geography (NEG) models. The approach maps all equilibrium conditions of an NEG model into an estimable spatial autoregressive model of order one – SAR model – in regional wages, which reflects the sensitivity, predicted by the NEG model, of each region’s wage rate to a wage shock elsewhere. The approach also facilitates testing selected features of the NEG model separately. An illustration shows that the Krugman model does not fit the data for US counties 1990-2005 because it does not predict the migration patterns triggered by wage shocks correctly.
