A competitive model of economic geography

Bryan Ellickson and William Zame

Economic Theory, 2005, vol. 25, issue 1, 89-103

Abstract: Most of the literature argues that competitive analysis has nothing interesting to say about location. This paper argues, to the contrary, that a competitive model can have something interesting to say about location, provided that locations are not identical and transportation costs are not zero. To do this, it constructs a competitive intertemporal general equilibrium model and applies it to a suggestive example of migration. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin/Heidelberg 2005
