We develop a spatial model of energy exploitation where energy sources are differentiated by their geographic location … and energy density. The spatial setting creates a scaling law that magnifies the importance of differences across energy … plays must first boom and then bust. For both renewable and non-renewable energy sources we link the size of exploitation …

This paper sets out a simple spatial model of energy exploitation to ask how the location and productivity of energy … resources affects the distribution of economic activity across geographic space. By combining elements from energy economics and … economic geography we link the productivity of energy resources to the incentives for economic activity to agglomerate. We find …
