The core-periphery model by Krugman (1991) has two 'dramatic' implications: catastrophic agglomeration and locational … and easily reversible transition from symmetry to agglomeration. …

key insight that emerges is that the interaction between agglomeration economies and comparative advantage involves a … comparative advantage in sectors governed by this force whilst the impact of agglomeration economies is enhanced by trade cost … small economies is not only shaped by the primitives that determine agglomeration economies and comparative advantage but …

Moreover, a tax … addition to core-periphery equilibria, exhibits stable equilibria with partial agglomeration. We show that a tax differential … may arise as an equilibrium of the tax game even when there is only partial agglomeration and the mobile factor does not …
