      <description>Title: On the impact of labor market matching on regional disparities
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Tharakan, Joe; Tropeano, Jean-Philippe
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We propose a model where imperfect matching between firms and workers on local labor markets leads to spatial agglomeration. We show that the occurrence of spatial agglomeration depends on initial size differences in terms of both number of workers and firms. We analyse the effect of different public policies. In our setting, the effect of a higher level of human capital on regional disparities depends on whether it makes workers more mobile on the labour market or more specialised. Policies that increase workers’ interregional mobility, increase the likelihood that regions diverge. Finally, competition policy is shown to reduce regional disparities.</description>

      <description>Title: Strategic public housing and foreign direct investment
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Dascher, Kristof
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: We suggest that public housing matters for FDI. We assume that FDI creates gains for some residents and losses for others. Losers from FDI will oppose FDI. To win support for FDI, local government may want to pay compensation in cash. In the paper’s model, however, cash payments are not successful. But public housing is. – Ultimately we argue that (1) public housing makes FDI more palatable where (2) cash transfers fail, so that (3) local government may choose to invest into public housing to overcome opposition against FDI.</description>

      <description>Title: A note on transfer pricing and the R&amp;D intensity of Irish manufacturing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Authors: Barry, Frank G,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Abstract: Ireland’s low corporation tax regime has proved especially attractive to foreign multinational companies operating in high-tech sectors. Ireland’s increasing concentration in such sectors has facilitated the country’s rise in the international R&amp;D rankings. On a sector by sector basis however, R&amp;D expenditures in Ireland remain low by international standards. This has led to questions about whether the health of the country’s R&amp;D environment matches the technological orientation of its industry, and about the commitment of the foreign sector to R&amp;D activities in host economies such as Ireland. The present note focuses on the transfer pricing behaviour that tends to arise in a low corporation tax regime, and shows that a simple correction for transfer pricing reveals Ireland to be less of an outlier in terms of sectoral R&amp;D expenditures than the conventional measures suggest.</description>
