Agglomeration and the adjustment of the spatial economy

Combes, Pierre-Philippe; Duranton, Gilles; Overman, Henry G. - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

We consider the literatures on urban systems and New Economic Geography to examine questions concerning agglomeration and how areas respond to shocks to the economic environment. We first propose a diagrammatic framework to compare the two approaches. We then use this framework to study a number...
