This paper investigates the relation between agglomeration of economic activity and the pattern of specialization of … specialized in the differentiated good in which it has a comparative advantage. Agglomeration occurs not only in large markets … advantage drives specialization, while absolute advantage drives agglomeration. …

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 …

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 …

'agglomeration in a system of cities' in which both intra-city trade and inter-city trade are considered. Enriching both the … literature on integration/agglomeration and that on city size and formation, we show that: i) devolution results in over-agglomeration …

This paper presents a simple Chamberlinian agglomeration model which, like the canonical core-periphery (CP) model … complete agglomeration predicted by the CP model. …
