Tech clusters play a growing role in knowledge-based economies by accommodating high-tech firms and providing an environment that fosters location-dependent knowledge spillovers and promote R&D investments by firms. Yet, not much is known about the economic conditions under which such entities...

We analyze how the interplay between urban costs, wage wedges, and trade costs may affect the interregional location of firms as wel l as the intraurban location, within the central business district or in a secondary employment center (SEC) of the selected region. In this way, we investigate,...

Spatial economics aims to explain the location of economic activity. While the importance of the proximity to natural resources has declined considerably, distance and location have not disappeared from economic life. Recent work in spatial economics indicates that new forces, hitherto...

We develop a new model of a "featureful" city in which locations are differentiated by two attributes, that is, the distance to employment centers and the accessibility to given amenities, and we show how heterogeneous households in income are sorted out across the urban space. Under Stone-Geary...

We develop a general equilibrium model with three primary production factors—land, skilled, and unskilled labor—and three sectors—construction, intermediate inputs, and final consumption—to study how different intensities of telecommuting affect the efficiency of firms that embrace home...

We develop a general equilibrium model with three primary production factors - land, skilled, and unskilled labor - and three sectors - construction, intermediate inputs, and final consumption - to study how different intensities of telecommuting affect the efficiency of firms that embrace home...
