This paper is about the impact on (low-skilled) labour. We build a new economic geography model in which two types of labour (low and high-skilled) are distinguished and in which, due to wage rigidies, unemployment may arise. We also introduce two types of transportation costs (for goods and...

We build a new economic geography model in which two types of labour (low and high-skilled) are distinguished and in which, due to wage rigidities, unemployment may arise. We also introduce two types of transportation costs...

Did breakthroughs in core processes during the Industrial Revolution tend to generate further innovations in downstream technologies? Here a theoretical model examines the effect of a political shock on a non-innovating society in which there is high potential willingness to cooperate. The...
