Industrial Localization. An Empirical Test for Marshallian Localization Economies
Hammond, George; von Hagen, Jürgen - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994
This paper presents empirical tests of the hypothesis that firms cluster geographically due to Marshallian localization economies. The hypothesis implies that changes in employment in localized industries should be more closely related within the regions than across regions. We develop an...

Agglomeration with Human and Physical Capital: an Analytically Solvable Case
Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999
This paper suggests a simple modification of the core-periphery model by Krugman (1991), which makes the model easy to solve analytically. We use the modified model to analyse the tendencies for geographical agglomeration of manufacturing industry as regions integrate economically. Two cases of...

A U-Shaped Europe? A Simulation Study of Industrial Location
Forslid, Rikard; Haaland, Jan I.; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999
This paper uses a full-scale CGE-model - calibrated on 1992 data - to investigate the effects of European integration on the location of industrial production. Our results reveal large differences among individual industries. Industries with high scale elasticities typically display a...

Regional Integration, Scale Economies and Industry Location in the European Union
Brülhart, Marius - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996
This paper analyses the effects of regional integration on the location of increasing-returns industry and the resulting pattern of trade. Theoretically, it is shown that regional integration may initially lead to a dispersion of industry inside the customs union. Below a certain threshold of...

Agglomeration in a Core-Periphery Model with Vertically and Horizontally Integrated Firms
Ekholm, Karolina; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997
This paper analyses the effect of allowing for a more general production structure in the core-periphery (CP) model. Two special cases of fully horizontally- and vertically-integrated firms are treated. The case of horizontally-integrated firms is a counter-example to the strong agglomeration...

The Geography of UK International Trade
Overman, Henry G; Winters, L. Alan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
This Paper examines how the geography of UK international trade has changed since the UK’s accession to the European Economic Community using a newly constructed dataset that gives a detailed breakdown of the UK’s imports and exports by both port of entry and exit, and commodity. Our results...

Tax Competition and Economic Geography
Andersson, Fredrik; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999
Tax competition between two countries is considered in a trade-and-location setting with differentiated products and monopolistic competition. There are two groups of workers, mobile ones and immobile ones. Taxes are used for producing a public good. It is shown that an equilibrium with mobile...

Agglomeration in the Global Economy: A Survey of the 'New Economic Geography'
Ottaviano, Gianmarco; Puga, Diego - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997
This review of recent contributions reveals common conclusions about the effects of integration on location. For high trade costs the need to supply markets locally encourages firms to spread across different regions. Integration weakens the incentives for self-sufficiency and for intermediate...

History and Industry Location: Evidence from German Airports

This paper exploits the combination of the division of Germany after the Second World War and the … reunification of East and West Germany as an exogenous shock to industry location. We focus on a particular economic activity and … establish that division caused a shift of Germany's air hub from Berlin to Frankfurt and there is no evidence of a return of the …
