A U-shaped Europe? : a simulation study of industrial location
TLDR
This paper used a large-scale CGE-model to simulate the effects of gradual economic integration on the location of industrial production and found that industries with high scale elasticities typically display a non-monotonous relationship between trade liberalisation and concentration, with maximum concentration for intermediate trade costs.About:

Economic Geography and Public Policy
Richard E. Baldwin,Rikard Forslid,Philippe Martin,Gianmarco I.P. Ottaviano,Frédéric Robert-Nicoud +4 more
TL;DR: Baldwin et al. as mentioned in this paper presented and analyzed the widest range of new economic geography models to date, and examined previously unaddressed welfare and policy issues including, in separate sections, trade policy (unilateral, reciprocal, and preferential), tax policy (agglomeration with taxes and public goods, tax competition and agglomeration), and regional policy (infrastructure policies and the political economy of regional subsidies).
Book ChapterDOI
The Empirics of Agglomeration and Trade
Keith Head,Thierry Mayer +1 more
TL;DR: The New Economic Geography (NEG) model as mentioned in this paper focuses on forward and backward trade linkages as causes of observed spatial concentration of economic activity and examines empirical strategies that have been or could be used to evaluate the importance of agglomeration and trade models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport costs: measures, determinants, and regional policy implications for France
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a methodology to accurately compute transport costs based on real transport network, which encompasses the characteristics of infrastructure, vehicle and energy used, as well as labor, insurance, tax and general charges borne by transport carriers.
MonographDOI
The New Introduction to Geographical Economics
TL;DR: In this paper, a first look at geography, trade, and development is presented, with a focus on the core model of geographical economics and its applications and extensions, including solutions, simulations, and extensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Putting New Economic Geography to the Test: Free-ness of Trade and Agglomeration in the EU Regions
TL;DR: In this article, a spatial wage structure exists for the EU regions and the implied free-ness of trade is such that the degree of agglomeration is still limited, supported by evidence based on bilateral industry trade data.

Increasing Returns and Economic Geography
TL;DR: This paper developed a simple model that shows how a country can endogenously become differentiated into an industrialized core and an agricultural periphery, in which manufacturing firms tend to locate in the region with larger demand, but the location of demand itself depends on the distribution of manufacturing.

The Spatial Economy: Cities, Regions, and International Trade
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to improve the quality of the data collected by the data collection system by using the information gathered from the data set of the user's profile.
Posted Content
Scale Economies, Product Differentiation, and the Pattern of Trade
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a simple formal analysis which incorporates these elements, and show how it can be used to shed some light on some issues which cannot be handled in more conventional models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globalization and the Inequality of Nations
Paul Krugman,Anthony J. Venables +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a model in which an imperfectly competitive manufacturing sector produces goods which are used both for final consumption and as intermediates, and they show that when transport costs fall below a critical value, a core-periphery pattern forms spontaneously, and nations that find themselves in the periphery suffer a decline in real income.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium Locations of Vertically Linked Industries.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the locational choice of firms in an upstream and a downstream industry and show that the forces for agglomeration are greatest at intermediate levels of transport costs.
