Spatial Equilibria : The Case of Two Regions

Kucheryavyy, Konstantin; Lyn, Gary; Rodríguez-Clare, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

In this paper we characterize the set of equilibria in a generalized version of the canonical two-region economic geography model that nests the class of models in Allen and Arkolakis (2014) as well as Krugman (1991). We show that the set of (regular) equilibria corresponds to the set of zeros...
