The strategic value of these agglomeration economies may vary by firm, depending upon the relative value of each economy, and upon firm and agglomeration economy traits. To better determine when a firm will be attracted to agglomeration ec...
متن کاملAgglomeration and networks in spatial economies
We consider the parallel developments in the economics of agglomeration and the economics of networks. We explore the complementarities between the productivity benefits of agglomeration and those of network linkages, arguing that networks of actors dispersed over space may substitute for agglomerations of actors at a single point.

متن کاملEssays on Urban Agglomeration
This thesis examines several distinct aspects of agglomeration externalities within an urban economy. In particular, the work focuses on location decisions of agents who face trade-offs between advantages in dense locations versus cheaper land prices available in suburban and exurban regions of the city. Two general equilibrium models of location are presented which study different aspects of l...
متن کاملThe magnitude and causes of agglomeration economies
Firms and workers are much more productive in large and dense urban environments. There is substantial evidence of such agglomeration economies based on three aproaches. First, on a clustering of production beyond what can be explained by chance or comparative advantage. Second, on spatial patterns in wages and rents. Third, on systematic variations in productivity with the urban environment. H...
