Agglomeration and the Adjustment of the Spatial Economy

Gilles Duranton, Pierre-Philippe Combes and Henry Overman

No 5028, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: We consider the literatures on urban systems and New Economic Geography to examine questions concerning agglomeration and how areas respond to shocks to the economic environment. We first propose a diagrammatic framework to compare the two approaches. We then use this framework to study a number of extensions and to consider several policy relevant issues.
