Structural Change and Growth in a NEG model
Cerina, F.; Mureddu, F. - Centro Ricerche Nord Sud (CRENoS) - 2011
This paper presents a New Economic Geography model of structural change, agglomeration and growth. By assuming the same non-homothetic preference structure as Murata (2008), we obtain similar results in that a progressive reduction of trade costs allows the economy to pass from a...
