A Dynamic Firm Location Choice Model with Agglomeration Externalities
This paper outlines a dynamic model of firm location choice, in an environment which includes both agglomeration effects and stochastic productivity shocks. The model follows closely the methods of Hopenhayn (1992) and his treatment of firm level entry and exit decisions. However, this model adds the complexity of a second location, as well as the existence of spillover effects, or agglomeratio...
متن کاملAgglomeration and fair wages
This paper implements a fair wage constraint in the fashion of Akerlof and Yellen (1990) into an analytically tractable core-periphery agglomeration model. This enables us to study the role of imperfect labour markets for the pattern of agglomeration. We illustrate that, in the short run, a marginal increase in fair wage preferences leads to an unambiguous compression of the national factor pri...
متن کاملFirm Size, Productivity, and Manager Wages: A Job Assignment Approach∗
Ability of managers and other nonproduction professionals is key for the productivity of firms. Hence, the assignment of heterogeneous nonproduction workers across firms determines the distribution of productivity. In turn, the transmission of productivity differences into profit differences — resulting from product market competition — determines firms’ willingness to pay for higher managerial...
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 کاملWages and Productivity Growth
We describe the evolution of productivity growth in a competitive industry with free entry and exit. The exogenous wage rate determines the firms’ engagement in labor productivity enhancing process innovation. There is a unique steady state of the industry dynamics, which is globally asymptotically stable. In the steady state, the number of active firms, their unit labor cost and supply depend ...
