Karlsson, Charlie; Johansson, Börje; R. Stough, Roger - Centre of Excellence for Science and Innovation … - 2013

proximity for knowledge generation and innovation is highlighted and instead it is stressed that relational, cognitive …, organizational, social and institutional proximities are not substitutes or complements to spatial proximity but that they are all … functions of the prevailing spatial proximity. Another important factor for interaction is social capital, which by fostering …

Robust control of a spatially distributed commercial fishery

Brock, William A.; Xepapadeas, Anastasios; … - 2013

We consider a robust control model for a spatially distributed commercial fishery under uncertainty, and in particular a tracking problem, i.e. the problem of robust stabilization of a chosen deterministic benchmark state in the presence of model uncertainty. The problem is expressed in the form...

Civic capital and the size distribution of plants: Short-run dynamics and long-run equilibrium

Bürker, Matthias; Minerva, G. Alfredo - 2012

We characterize how the size distribution of plants, within narrowly defined industries, changed in Italy over a ten-year time span, and relate this to the stock of civic capital at the provincial level. Data on plant size come from the 1991 and 2001 Italian censuses. Civic capital turns out to...

Agglomeration, urban growth and infrastructure in global climate policy: A dynamic CGE approach

Grazi, Fabio; Waisman, Henri - 2015

This paper presents an integrated model of urban agglomeration economies within a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of global economic activity, energy use and carbon emissions to explore the theoretical and empirical nature of the interdependence of cities and the world economy in a...

Transboundary capital and pollution flows and the emergence of regional inequalities

Levin, Simon; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2015

We seek to explain the emergence of spatial heterogeneity regarding development and pollution on the basis of interactions associated with the movement of capital and polluting activities from one economy to another. We use a simple dynamical model describing capital accumulation along the lines...

Agglomeration, Integration, and Territorial Authority Scale in a System of Trading Cities. Centralisation versus Devolution

Del Gatto, Massimo - 2004

This paper emphasises the importance of the political-institutional dimension in the understanding of the spatial distribution of economic activity. We introduce the notion of Territorial Authority Scale, which refers to the degree of devolution (towards sub-national tiers of government)...

Geographic concentrations and increasing returns: a survey of evidence

Surico, Paolo - 2002

Economic activities are highly clustered. Why is geographic con-centrationbecoming a predominant feature of modern economies? Onthe basis of the empirical models developed by the 'new' theories ofinternational trade, our answer is that increasing returns are the driv-ingforce of economic...

Trade Liberalisation and Global-scale Forest Transition

González-Val, Rafael; Pueyo, Fernando - 2013

In this paper, we develop a theoretical model that provides an additional explanation for the forest transition based on a trade liberalisation scenario. Furthermore, in contrast with most explanations, in which the forest transition can only take place at a local level at the expense of other...

Learning-by-doing and the development of industrial districts

Soubeyran, Antoine; Thisse, Jacques-François - 1998

Marshallian districts are locales that accommodate a large number of small firms producing similar goods to be exported and benefit from the accumulation of know-how associated with workers residing there. We study the making of such districts by assuming that the cost function of a firm is a...

Spatial development

Desmet, Klaus; Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban - 2010

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...
