We analyse how spatial disparities in innovation activities, coupled with migration costs, affect economic geography … endogenous emergence of industry clusters. Spatial variations in knowledge spillovers lead to spatial concentration of more …. Narrowing the gap in knowledge spillovers across regions raises growth, and reduces regional inequality by making firms more …
