On the spatial scale of industrial agglomerations
Mori, Tomoya; Smith, Tony E. - 2015
Standard approaches to studying industrial agglomeration have been in terms of scalar measures of agglomeration within each industry. But such measures often fail to distinguish spatial scales of agglomeration. In a previous paper, Mori and Smith (2014) proposed a pair of quantitative measures...

Heterogeneous Firms, Urban Costs and Agglomeration
Zhou, Yiming - 2018
This paper explores how the interaction between firm heterogeneity, urban costs and transport costs determines spatial configuration across regions within a simple general-equilibrium model. We spot light on how firm heterogeneity affects the centrifugal and centripetal forces and reshapes the...

Trade Costs, Market Access and Economic Geography : Why the Empirical Specification of Trade Costs Matters
Bosker, Erik Maarten; Garretsen, Harry - 2021
Trade costs are crucial in new economic geography (NEG) models. The unavailability of actual trade costs data requires the approximation of trade costs. Most NEG studies do not deal with the ramifications of the particular trade costs specification used. This paper shows that the specification...

On the Location and 'Lock-In' of Cities : Geography vs. Transportation Technology
Behrens, Kristian - 2006
We investigate where cities are located in a spatial economy and why they tend to get 'locked-in' at particular sites. Building on Fujita and Krugman (1995) we show that geography and/or transportation technology must exhibit some 'non-smoothness' for cities to possibly become 'locked-in' in...

Modelling the folk theorem : a spatial Cournot model with explicit increasing returns to scale/ Sylvain Barde
Barde, Sylvain (contributor) - 2007
This paper attempts to model directly the "folk theorem" of spatial economics, according to which increasing returns to scale are essential for understanding the geographical distributions of activity. The model uses the simple structure of most New Economic Geography papers, with two identical...

The Role of Country Size in Spatial Economics : A Survey of the Home Market Effects
Zeng, Dao-Zhi - 2015
This paper surveys the growing literature on the home market effects (HMEs) in spatial economics. The HMEs are utilized to disclose the role of country size in the configuration of economic activity. Various HMEs display distinctive features of size advantage and they are originally obtained...
