Abstract

In Chap. 1, we consider the mechanism of regional agglomeration and dispersion with core–periphery model constructed by Ottaviano, Tabuchi, and Thisse [5]. This model is an extremely powerful model to explain how regional agglomeration and dispersion occur endogenously under the influence of economic activities. Because we assumed that full employment was established in Chap.1, we did not take account of unemployment in the model. However, unemployment is an extremely important issue to be resolved in many countries regardless of developing countries or developed countries. Some developing countries experience urban unemployment during economic development.

Fußnoten
1
Although we often use “area” and “region” in this chapter, we do not distinguish “area” from “region” strictly. However, we strictly distinguish “urban” from “rural.”
 
2
We assume a small open economy for simplification in this section though the price of agricultural goods in Harris and Todaro [2] is determined endogenously.
 
3
Note that \(\bar{K}_{X}\) is constant because \(\bar{K}_{X}\) denotes fixed capital input.
 
4
Household U does not earn wage income because household U is not employed by the manufactured goods sector. Consequently, w U is equal to zero. Moreover, although Harris and Todaro [2] consider no redistribution, we assume that the government redistributes the profits of both sectors for households. Therefore, unemployed households can buy both goods to maintain their lives.
