The Emergence of Optimal Agglomeration in Dynamic Economics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze endogenous pattern formation resulting from forward-looking optimizing behavior of economic agents in the presence of spatial spillovers modelled by continuous kernels. We use Fourier methods to identify necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of optimal agglomeration through an optimal spillover induced instability of a spatially homogeneous steady state. We apply our methods to study the emergence of optimal agglomeration for a rational expectations equilibrium and an optimal growth model. We believe that our analytical methods can be used to systematically study optimal agglomeration and clustering in dynamic economics.

متن کاملAn Analysis the Effect of Capital Taxation on Allocation of Resources: A Dynamic Equilibrium Model Approach
Abstract T he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. Taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. This pape...
