This paper presents a simple Chamberlinian agglomeration model which, like the canonical core-periphery (CP) model …, the present model exhibits a 'supercritical pitchfork bifurcation' rather than the 'subcritical pitchfork bifurcation' of … complete agglomeration predicted by the CP model. …

key insight that emerges is that the interaction between agglomeration economies and comparative advantage involves a … comparative advantage in sectors governed by this force whilst the impact of agglomeration economies is enhanced by trade cost … small economies is not only shaped by the primitives that determine agglomeration economies and comparative advantage but …
