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 … agglomeration based on an explicit method for detecting spatial clusters. The first, designated as the global extent of industrial …

The main results are twofold. First, nonzero mortality rates support a more … equal distribution of productive factors by introducing an additional dispersion force that countervails the agglomeration …

Modeling a micro-structure of agglomeration economies, this article derives a second-best benefit evaluation formula … for urban transportation improvements. Without explicitly modeling the sources of agglomeration economies, Venables (JTEP … monopolistic competition with differentiated products provides a micro-foundation of agglomeration economies. Introducing the rural …

Using a simplified NEG model, we investigates the relation between labor diversity and agglomeration.

The forward linkage (i ….e. agglomeration caused by labor supply) implies the increase in the number of workers enhances labor diversity and causes …
