Löschian Spatial Competition and the Related Labor Market

Environment and Planning A, 1990, vol. 22, issue 9, 1223-1238

Abstract: A single-good Löschian model of spatial pricing is expanded to incorporate elements of the related input market. Technical change in the labor sector induces the entry of new firms. Short-run and long-run impacts of technical change on the spatial product and spatial labor markets are analyzed. The so-called ‘perverse effect’ of spatial competition remains intact in this expanded model under certain conditions. Moreover the labor market is likely to experience a fall in real wages as labor productivity increases.
