This paper presents the new dynamic spatial general equilibrium (DSGE) model – RHOMOLO, which is built to support the EU policy design by undertaking holistic, micro-founded and disaggregated policy impact assessment. The RHOMOLO model is based on the theories of general equilibrium,...

The dynamic spatial general equilibrium model RHOMOLO with endogenous firm location incorporates multiple sources of agglomeration and dispersion. Agglomeration is driven mainly by increasing returns to scale and localised externalities; dispersion by costly trade and imperfect competition. In...
