Buying a Home with a Resale Value: Location,Location, Location*

We develop a dynamic multiregion model, where a household's choice of housing location depends on its current wealth and its current type, and involves both consumption and investment considerations. The relative strength of the consumption motive and the investment motive determines the equilibrium pattern of residential sorting. A strong investment (consumption) motive implies sorting according to household type (wealth). The model predicts that large house‐price fluctuations are associated with a low degree of sorting by type. This prediction is consistent with evidence from US metropolitan areas when income, education, and age are used as proxies for household type.     

Foreign direct investment in Mexico Determinants and its effect on income inequality

By conducting panel data analysis across 32 federal entities in Mexico over the period 1994-2006, this paper studies the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) and its effect on income inequality within and between regions. We observe that the level of development and the size of the market have a direct relationship with FDI and therefore, they tend to increase the inequality gap between regions, but there is no evidence suggesting that it creates inequality within them.     

The determinants of the location of foreign direct investment in UK regions†

This article employs a database of over 2000 observations of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects in UK regions. We analyse this data by means of various multinomial and conditional logit models in order to identify the major determinants of the location choices of these inward investments. Having controlled for the various characteristics of inward investing firms, the projects and the regions, our results suggest that existing regional specialization is the single most important determining feature of where inward FDI locates. In addition, London is seen to benefit primarily by the immigration of new investments, the majority of which are related to service sector activities.

基于多层次灰色评价法的股份制商业银行竞争力分析

商业银行核心竞争力一直是学术界研究的重点.采用灰色综合评估模型的系统评价方法计算商业银行竞争力排名及历史资产总量变化情况表明,我国股份制商业银行运行状况良好,坚持股份制改革的方向是正确的.但通过对我国上市股份制银行与美国银行竞争力的比较,则表明我国股份制商业银行距离完善治理结构还有很大差距,还需要进一步深化改革.国有商业银行必须发挥自身优势,及时适应市场变化,推出自身特色服务,大力发展利润丰厚的中间业务.
