Externalities, growth, and regional stagnation
This paper discusses the impact of externalities on economic growth and the long term distribution of economic activities in a system of two regions. We use a standard neoclassical growth model of the Solow-type and augment it with a random process of innovation allocation. The long term behavior of this model is analyzed. As it turns out the dynamic behavior of our model differs fundamentally ...
متن کاملKnowledge Externalities , Agglomeration Economies , and Employment Growth in Dutch Cities
This paper extends the work of Glaeser et al. (1992) by looking at effects of agglomeration economies on employment growth in Dutch city-industries and in very small (postal) zip code-industries in the Dutch province of South-Holland. At both levels of geographic detail, findings are broadly consistent with results from the earlier study in that employment growth is enhanced by industrial diver...
متن کاملCervical cancer mortality trends in Brazil, 1981-2006.
The aim of this study was to describe cervical cancer mortality trends in Brazil for the period 1981-2006. Cervical cancer mortality was corrected on the basis of proportional redistribution of the deaths from "malignant neoplasm of uterus, part unspecified". Time trends were evaluated by means of simple linear regression. After correction, cervical cancer ranked second among the leading causes...
متن کاملCongestion Tolling with Agglomeration Externalities*
Consider an urban economy with two types of externalities, negative traffic congestion externalities and positive agglomeration externalities deriving from non-market interaction. Suppose that urban travel can be tolled, that non-market interaction cannot be subsidized, and that non-market interaction is stimulated by a reduction in travel costs. Then the optimal toll is below the congestion ex...
متن کاملAgglomeration, Productivity and Regional Growth: Production Theory Approaches
Agglomeration Economies, or production cost savings due to geographic clustering of firms and industries, can enhance the growth and development of firms, industries, regions and cities. We provide an overview of the theory and empirical literature of agglomeration, and highlight several applications from the cost function perspective. These applications include cost savings from density in the...
