The objective of this paper is to apply different welfare approaches to the canonical model developed by Krugman, with … the aim of comparing the only two possible market outcomes, i.e. agglomeration and dispersion. More precisely, we use the … Pareto criterion, the compensation criteria put forward by Kaldor, as well as the utilitarian and Rawlsian welfare functions …

regions. The second phase arises because of the increasing urban costs associated with the process of agglomeration. …

'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 … (fewer cities, which tend to be over-sized) and low welfare; ii) the higher the level of spatial (i.e. transport costs) and …
