firms tend to choose locations that are symmetric around the point of highest density, and there can be no agglomeration. …

agglomeration externalities. We extend this model by introducing a traffic congestion externality. We show that congestion induces a … interplay between these externalities is then demonstrated, as reduced congestion leads to commercial concentration and … agglomeration gains. …

Traffic congestion alleviation has long been a common core transport policy objective, but it remains unclear under … (2001 to 2007). Using instrumental variables, results suggest that congestion slows job growth above thresholds of … congestion-induced travel delay impeding productivity growth. Results suggest that the strict policy focus on travel time savings …

Consider an urban economy with two types of externalities, negative traffic congestion externalities and positive … agglomeration externalities deriving from non-market interaction. Suppose that urban travel can be tolled, that non … toll is below the congestion externality cost. This paper explores this line of reasoning. …

dispersion ? agglomeration configuration when regional and/or international trade are liberalised. Two main results are found …, the first one is that dispersion Pareto dominates agglomeration, the second one is that the agglomeration rent is not bell … partial agglomeration of activities, the race to the bottom in terms of taxation is still verified ii) even in a multi …
