original: Coordination and bifurcation in growing spatial economies

J. Barkley Rosser

The Annals of Regional Science, 1998, vol. 32, issue 1, 133-143

Abstract: Bifurcation of endogenous growth equilibria with infrastructure investment affecting productivity through altering levels of coordination of economic activity are studied using interacting particle systems theory. Critical levels of infrastructure relative to private capital generate discontinuous changes in coordination and thus in general productivity. Higher coordination is associated with two equilibria, one with positive expectational high growth and one with negative expectational low growth. Thus, heightened regional linkages may be associated with greater volatility of economic activity.
