The core-periphery model by Krugman (1991) has two 'dramatic' implications: catastrophic agglomeration and locational … and easily reversible transition from symmetry to agglomeration. …

and even small relative concerns destabilize the full agglomeration equilibrium, which is stable in the Krugman model. …

The paper analyzes the impact of skill-biased migration policies under the economics of agglomeration. It therefore … develops an agglomeration model with two types of mobile worker who are heterogeneous and differ both within and between skill … groups with respect to their migration propensity. On the one hand, the model reveals that the effectiveness of migration …
