Regional Borders, Commuting and Transport Network Integration
(2020)KOF Working PapersI study how and why economic activity varies around regional borders. Spatial quasi-experimental variation around French departmental borders reveals discontinuous commuting and residential patterns. To tackle the endogenous border placement problem, I exploit a geometric border design proposed during the French Revolution. I then calibrate a spatial quantifiable general equilibrium framework to structurally match the quasi-experimental ...Working Paper -
Tracking Economic Activity With Alternative High-Frequency Data
(2020)KOF Working PapersMost macroeconomic indicators failed to capture the sharp economic fluctuations dur- ing the Corona crisis in a timely manner. Instead, alternative high-frequency data have been used, aiming to monitor the economic situation. However, these data are often only loosely related to the business cycle and come with irregular patterns of missing observations, ragged edges and short histories. This paper presents a novel mixed- frequency dynamic ...Working Paper
