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

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

predict migration flows for the period following the CEE’s integration with the EU. The main innovation of our approach is … that it endogenises both explanatory variables and the migration rate. The underlying structural parameters are estimated … econometrically using a migration equation, which is derived entirely from the theoretical NEG model. Our simulations show that even …

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 …
