We show that agglomeration forces can reverse standard international-tax-competition results. Closer integration may … agglomeration forces create quasi-rents that can be taxed without inducing delocation. This suggests that the tax game is something … 'periphery' countries. Since agglomeration rents are a bell-shaped function of the level of integration, the equilibrium tax gap …

This paper studies the sources of agglomeration economies in cities. We begin by introducing a simple dynamic spatial … large, though there can be exceptions. Thus, dynamic agglomeration appears to be driven by cross-industry effects. Once we … control for these cross-industry agglomeration effects, we find a strong negative relationship between city size and city …

This handbook chapter studies the theoretical micro-foundations of urban agglomeration economies. We distinguish three … precise characterisation of some of the main theoretical underpinnings of urban agglomeration economies, to discuss modelling … issues that arise when working with these tools, and to compare different sources of agglomeration economies in terms of the …
