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

This paper presents a difference in the comparative statics of general equilibrium models with land when there are finitely many agents, and when there is a continuum of agents. Restricting attention to quasi-linear and Cobb-Douglas utility, it is shown that with finitely many agents, an...

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...

Many countries operate pronounced fiscal equalization schemes that shift tax revenue across jurisdictions. We use a general equilibrium model with multiple asymmetric regions, costly trade and labor mobility to carve out the aggregate implications of this policy. Calibrating the model for...

We analyze the equilibrium and the optimal resource allocations in a monocentric city undermonopolistic competition. Unlike the constant elasticity of substitution (CES) case, wherethe equilibrium markups are independent of the city size, we present a variable elasticity ofsubstitution (VES)...

the agglomeration of agents in size or mass. We investigate agglomeration in sorting or by type of worker, that implies … agglomeration in size when worker populations differ by type. This kind of agglomeration can be driven by asymmetric information in …

Quantitative spatial economics (QSE) specifies various components such as preferences, production technology, and frictions for the movement of goods, people, and ideas. Despite the long literature on endogenous location decisions, the question of how these specifications affect resulting...
