Conclusions International Trade & the World Economy; Charles van Marrewijk Combining various international economic theories with factor mobility provides a simple theory of location and agglomeration. Distinction short-run equilibrium (given distribution of the manufacturing labour force) and long-run equilibrium (endogenously determined by equality of real wages). Distinction stable equilibrium and unstable equilibrium. Using computer simulations: high transport costs lead to spreading of economic activity low transport costs lead to agglomeration of economic activity intermediate transport costs lead to multiple long-run equilibria Extensions of the basic model can explain empirical regularities, such as Zipf’s Law and the Gravity Equation.
