Does Staying out of the European Integration Process Shelter the Industrial Base of Small Countries?
Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
This Paper compares the effect of economic integration on industry location for a small country that goes ahead with an integration process, such as the European, and a country that stays out. Theoretical results, derived from a three-region new economic geography model, are compared to stylized...

Forslid, Rikard - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Stockholms Universitet - 2004
This paper compares the effect of economic integration on industry location for a small country that goes ahead with an integration process, such as the European, and a country adopting a wait and see strategy. Theoretical results, derived from a three-region new economic geography model, are...

Regional Policy, Integration and the Location of Industry
Forslid, Rikard - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Stockholms Universitet - 2003
Many countries devote a large part of their national budget to regional policy. This paper analyses the interaction of economic integration and some typical regional policies in a new economic geography model with three regions of different size. The policies analysed are the relocation of...

Towards a unifying approach of the 'new economic geography'
Pflüger, Michael; Südekum, Jens - 2006
Models of the new economic geography share a number of common conclusions, but also exhibit notable differences, in particular with respect to the shape of the location pattern and the efficiency of the market equilibrium. This reflects the fact that these models rely heavily on specific...

The core periphery model with asymmetric inter-regional and intra-regional trade costs
Leite, Vasco; Castro, Sofia B.S.D.; Correia-da-Silva, João - Faculdade de Economia, Universidade do Porto - 2008
We generalize the model of Krugman (1991) to allow for asymmetric trade costs between regions and for (asymmetric) trade costs that are internal to the regions. We find that industrial activity, in a region, is enhanced by higher costs of importing and lower costs of exporting (more precisely,...

The 'Genome' of NEG Models with Vertical Linkages: A Positive and Normative Synthesis
Ottaviano, Gianmarco; Robert-Nicoud, Frédéric - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2004
This Paper takes a broader look at how vertical linkages can trigger the spatial agglomeration of economic activity in … too little agglomeration. It shows that, in terms of positive implications, vertical-linkage models are identical to … implications in the absence of interregional transfers: in migration models agglomeration is necessarily bad for people stuck in …
