DESCRIPTION: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 f
 or testing nonlinear New Economic Geography (NEG) models. The approach map
 s all equilibrium conditions of an NEG model into an estimable spatial aut
 oregressive model of order one – SAR(1) model – in regional wages\, wh
 ich reflects the sensitivity\, predicted by the NEG model\, of each region
 's wage rate to a wage shock elsewhere. The approach also facilitates test
 ing selected features of the NEG model separately. An illustration shows t
 hat the Krugman model does not fit the data for US counties 1990-2005 beca
 use it does not predict the migration patterns triggered by wage shocks co
 rrectly.\n\n\nBiography:\n\nProfessor Jan Mutl is the Managing Director of
