Abstract

In the literature of new economic geography, it is observed that the manufacturing sector disperses because of high transportation costs, agglomerates for intermediate transportation costs, and redisperses for low transportation costs. This paper examines a model with multiple manufacturing industries and finds that the redispersion process is different from the dispersion process. More precisely, there is at most one industry that disperses in the redispersion process while all industries disperse in the dispersion process. Furthermore, it is shown that the interaction of demand, increasing returns, and transportation costs is enough to derive a separating equilibrium where at least two industries agglomerate in different regions.

Fußnoten
1
The results here can be generalized to the case of positive marginal cost but the notations will be much heavier. So we impose this assumption as Ottaviano et al. (2002) do.
 
2
We do not mean that the contrary case is not interesting. In fact, Behrens (2004) considers the case of corner equilibria for large \(\tau\) and find that agglomeration may occur even when there is no trade.
 
3
Another dynamics called replicator dynamics is also widely applied in the literature. However, the equilibria and their stability conditions turn out to be the same (see Tabuchi and Zeng 2004). This paper chooses Eq. 8 because it looks simpler.
 
4
However, as we will see in the proof of Theorem 3, the distribution of industry \(i^d\) is determined by equalizing the wage of skilled workers of type \(i^d\), rather than equalizing the manufacturing employment of unskilled workers in both regions.
