overlapping generation framework with heterogeneous individuals allows us to study the effects of ageing on agglomeration … processes by analytically identifying the level of trade costs that triggers catastrophic agglomeration. Interestingly, this … the symmetric equilibrium more stable and therefore counteracts agglomeration tendencies. In sharp contrast to other New …
