NEG - Central question
• Long-run spatial distribution of industry
2
equally distributed
agglomerated in one region
unevenly distributed

NEG – Basic structure
• Given amount of productive factors • Distributed across two identical regions• Allowed to move freely between regions
according to factor rewards (dynamic law)• Output sold in home region as well as in other
regions (trade cost)• Decisive for location decision: Cost for
commodity trade between regions

• Where do dynamic processes play a role?- Goods and labour markets: istantaneous
equilibrium- Shipping of goods: istantaneous- Factor mobility: gradual over time, adaptive
process- Analytical core: One-dimensional differential
equation

Continuous Vs discrete time
• 2-R NEG in continuous time (1-D bimodal flow):Multiple equilibria; catastrophic agglomeration; hysteresis; ‘regular’ local stability properties which holds within well-defined basins of attraction• 2-R NEG in discrete time (1-D bimodal map): Multiple equilibria; catastrophic agglomeration; hysteresis; multiple attractors of any periodicity; chaotic dynamics; agglomeration via volatility

Footloose Entrepreneur (FE)(Forslid & Ottaviano, 2003, JEG)
• Factors of production - unskilled workers (immobile, variable costs) - entrepreneurs (mobile, fixed cost)• Agglomeration and dispersion forces are all at
work• Self-reinforcing agglomeration processes
preserved• Entrepreneurs migrate in response to differences
in real profits

3-R Footloose Entrepreneur model
• 3 symmetric Regions (1, 2, 3)• 2 Sectors (agriculture,
manufacturing)• 2 Factors of production (unskilled
workers, entrepreneurs)
![Page 9: A 3-region new economic geography model in discrete time](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062410/568164d8550346895dd7192a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Manufacturing sector
• Differentiated goods• Produced with:
1 entrepreneur units of unskilled labour
• Decreasing average costs• Monopolistic competition:• Price: mark-up over marginal
cost
• Iceberg transport cost, T
Agricultural sector
• Undifferentiated good• Produced with:
1 unit of unskilled labour
• Constant average costs• Perfect competition • MR = MC
• No transport cost (perfect trade freeness)

Final remarks• 2-Dimensional nonlinear map: Multiple equilibria; catastrophic agglomeration; hysteresis; 2-R and 3-R stationary equilibria, possible 2-R asymmetric stable equilibriaperiodic and quasi-periodic multiple attractors; chaotic dynamics; strange attractors, complex basins of attraction
• Simple extensions: slight increase in the number of regions; asymmetric trade costs
• Less simple extensions: larger increase in the number of regions, endogenous trasport costs, network structure
