Locating Two Transfer Points on a Network with a Trip Covering Criterion and Mixed Distances
In this paper we consider a set of origin-destination pairs in a mixed model in which a
network embedded in the plane represents an alternative high-speed transportation system,
and study a trip covering problem which consists on locating two points in the network
which maximize the number of covered pairs, that is, the number of pairs which use the
network by acceding and exiting through such points. To deal with the absence of convexity
of this mixed distance function we propose a decomposition method based on formulating
a collection of subproblems and solving each of them via discretization of the solution set.Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia e Innovación MTM2009-14243Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2012-37048Junta de Andalucía P09-TEP-5022Junta de Andalucía P10-FQM-584
Persistence in inequalities across the Spanish regions.
This paper investigates several issues concerning persistence in inequalities of relative income per capita among the Spanish regions over 1980-2002. For that purpose we take a Bayesian approach which extends the work by Canova and Marcet (1995). Firstly, we study to what extent there exists a fixed effect bias in the standard cross-section estimates, and we find that the speed of convergence is indeed underestimated. Secondly, we provide a battery of results in which steady states and convergence rates have been obtained for a continuum of prior distributions. Finally, we also deal with persistence in inequalites by determining whether initial conditions matter in the distribution of regional steady states, and our conclusion is that regional disparities tend to persist over time in Spain.Convergence, Inequalities, Bayesian Econometrics, Gibbs sampling.
