This paper studies how firm heterogeneity in terms of productivity affects the balance between agglomeration and … mark-ups. It shows that firm heterogeneity matters. However, whether it shifts the balance from agglomeration to dispersion … 'evenness'. Accordingly, the role of firm heterogeneity in selection models of agglomeration cannot be fully understood without …

This paper extends the Puga (1999) model by introducing urban frictions. It assumes that the agglomeration of … finding is that the extension significantly alters the agglomeration properties of the original Puga framework. In particular …, partial agglomeration becomes a stable long run outcome in both with and without migration. Furthermore, the level of …

heterogeneity smooths the agglomeration patterns but that it should be considered neither as a dispersion force nor as an … agglomeration force. Indeed, the introduction of taste heterogeneity makes an initially dispersed economy less dispersed and an …
