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...

A random exchange economy is fully specified by the distribution of the family of random...
