El efecto de la accesibilidad en la productividad de las empresas. El caso de las manufacturas españolas [The effect on firms' productivity of accessibility. The Spanish manufacturing sector]
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the impact of accessibility on the productivity of Spanish manufacturing firms and suggest the use of accessibility indicators to workers and commodities, integrating transport, land use, and individual components in their measurement, and computing real distances or travelling times using the Spanish full road network.

Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity, which is essentially a competitive equilibrium model with endogenous technological change.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
