Economies of scope and economies of agglomeration
Journal of Urban Economics, 1984Abstract Agglomeration economies are economies external to the firm, and plant, but internal to a particular location. In this paper the notion of agglomeration economies is formally investigated. The implications of the concept for urban structure and industrial organization are then traced.

Equilibrium with agglomeration economies
Regional Science and Urban Economics, 1995Abstract We represent the desires of agents to be close to one another, and to such features as harbors or museums, by disutility of distance functions. Each individual (or firm) adds disutilities, then selects the location that minimizes the sum. We find the spatial (Nash) equilibrium, first on a line, and then for higher dimensional spaces.

Productivity and Agglomeration Economies in Chinese Cities [PDF]
Comparative Economic Studies, 2009 I test the existence of agglomeration economies in Chinese cities by evaluating the impact of population size and density on urban productivity. Based on panel data of about 150 Chinese cities during the 1990s, I find an inverted U-shaped relationship between city size and productivity as well as a positive effect of population density on urban ...

Agglomeration in Racetrack Economy
2013The spatial agglomeration is investigated for a racetrack economy, comprising a number of cities equally spreading on the circumference of a circle, with micromechanism by Krugman’s core–periphery model. The group-theoretic bifurcation analysis procedure presented in Chap.

The Economy of an Agglomeration: The Case of London [PDF]
Urban Studies, 1992 The development of London over the last 30 years is discussed in the context of Chinitz's seminal paper on major US agglomerations. The optimism originally voiced in the 1960s over the future of major urban agglomerations has not been borne out by experience, for a variety of reasons, some purely economic and some the outcome of policy.

Economies and Diseconomies of Agglomeration
1995The paradox in urban economics over the last thirty years is that agglomeration economies (and diseconomies) are the driving force behind explanations of geographical concentration of economic activity and population within cities, yet remain something of a black box. There have been, as we shall see, several diverse attempts to measure these economies,

On agglomeration economies and optimal migration
Economics Letters, 1985Abstract In this paper we identify socially optimal levels of rural-to-urban migration. After identifying the reason that private actions do not add up to the social optimum, we offer an analysis of instruments which could confer efficiency gains by closing the gap between the privately efficient and socially optimal urban concentrations.

Agglomeration economies and building height
Journal of Urban Economics, 1989Abstract In a series of papers, M. Fujita and H. Ogawa studied a model where two agents (firms and households) compete for land. In those papers, the configuration of the city depends on transport costs supported by household and agglomeration economies between firms.

Agglomeration Economies and Employment Growth in Italy
2015Using local labor systems (LLSs) data, we assess the effect of the local productive structure on employment growth in Italy during the period 1981–2008. Italy represents an interesting case study because of the high degree of spatial heterogeneity in local labor market performances and of the presence of strongly specialized LLSs (industrial districts).
