We investigate the equilibrium pattern of residential, business and integrated areas in a city where households and firms have employment and trade relation- ships. The employment relationship requires commuting, and thus generates an attraction between firm-household pairs. The trade...

We investigate the endogenous emergence of residential and industrial districts around a central shopping district (CSD). Households wish to locate near firms and near the CSD due to commuting costs proportional to distance. Firms wish to locate near households because this reduces the wage they...

We study the Footloose Entrepreneur model with a finite number of equidistant regions, focusing on the analysis of stability of three types of long-run equilibria: agglomeration, dispersion and partial dispersion. We find that, as the number of regions increases, there is more tendency for...

The main result of this paper states that there exists a residual subset of the set of critical economies whose associated equilibria are finite in number. We also show that this subset does not contain any open set and therefore the result is the best possible for our choice of topology...
