Urbanization economies - the effects on productivity and utility created endogenously by larger cities - are a fundamental component of both the economic geography of modern societies and the perpetuation of innovation and economic growth at a national level. Cities account for vast majorities...

We consider a model of monopolistic competition with several heterogeneous sectors and endogenous labor supply. For low (high) values of the labor supply elasticity, we show that there is always a unique equilibrium. For medium values of the labor supply elasticity, the set of equilibria (if...

We establish an existence theorem for the Cournot-Walras equilibria in the model which consists of a representative consumer and n-monopolistically competitive firms. Instead of the traditional approach which depends on Kakutani’s fixed point theorem, we employ the theory of the relationship...
