Spatial Development

Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2009

We present a theory of spatial development. A continuum of locations in a geographic area choose each period how much to innovate (if at all) in manufacturing and services. Locations can trade subject to transport costs and technology diffuses spatially across locations. The result is an...

Complementarities in Innovation Policy

Mohnen, Pierre; Röller, Lars-Hendrik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

This Paper develops a framework for testing discrete complementarities in innovation policy using European data on … obstacles to innovation. We propose a discrete test of supermodularity in innovation policy leading to a number of inequality … constraints. We apply our test to two types of innovation decisions: to innovate or not, and if so, by how much. We find that …

The Geography of Development: Evaluating Migration Restrictions and Coastal Flooding

Desmet, Klaus; Nagy, David Krisztián; Rossi-Hansberg, … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2015

We study the relationship between geography and growth. To do so, we first develop a dynamic spatial growth theory with realistic geography. We characterize the model and its balanced growth path and propose a methodology to analyze equilibria with different levels of migration frictions. We...

The Spatial Development of India

Desmet, Klaus; Ghani, Ejaz; O'Connell, Stephen D; … - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

This paper studies the recent spatial development of India. Services, and to a lesser extent manufacturing, are increasingly concentrating in high-density clusters. This stands in contrast with the United States, where in the last decades services have tended to grow fastest in medium-density...

The Geography of Development within Countries

Desmet, Klaus; Henderson, J Vernon - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2014

This chapter describes how the spatial distribution of economic activity changes as economies develop and grow. We start with the relation between development and rural-urban migration. Moving beyond the coarse rural-urban distinction, we then focus on the continuum of locations in an economy...
