-region level, we show that the elasticity of agglomeration on productivity is much larger for traders than for non-traders. As …

evidence that agglomeration economies associated with more densely populated areas appear to mitigate the negative impacts. …

there is non-linear net effect of agglomeration on productivity growth but in levels agglomeration is associated with higher …

first question examines the existence of agglomeration economies in the hospital service industry. The second considers … that agglomeration economies exist in the hospital service industry and are generated in part through the sharing of … “Chinitz” effect identified elsewhere in the literature. Third, the agglomeration effect attenuates geographically. …

We develop a model of trade and agglomeration that incorporates trade in both intermediate goods and final goods and … characterize world equilibrium and establish the conditions under which industrial agglomeration arises as a stable equilibrium … effect becomes influential, trade liberalization can generate non-monotonic effects on industrial agglomeration.

This paper studies how firm heterogeneity in terms of productivity affects the balance between agglomeration and … endogenous markups. It shows that firm heterogeneity matters. However, whether it shifts the balance from agglomeration to … ‘evenness’. Accordingly, the role of firm heterogeneity in selection models of agglomeration can not be fully understood without …
