For centuries, most international trade involved an exchange of complete goods. But, with
recent improvements in transportation and communications technology, it increasingly
entails different countries adding value to global supply chains, or what might be called" ...

2. Abstract We prove the existence of a symmetric equilibrium in a circular city in which
businesses and housing can both be located anywhere in the city. In this equilibrium, firms
balance the external benefits from locating near other producers against the costs of ...

In 1817, when David Ricardo penned his celebrated treatise on The Principles of Political
Economy and Taxation, communication between England and Portugal was no faster and
only slightly less costly than shipping wine or cloth from one country to the other. Most ...
We present a theory of the organization of work in an economy where knowledge is an
essential input in production: a knowledge economy. In this economy a continuum of agents
with heterogeneous skills must choose how much knowledge to acquire and may produce ...
How does the formation of cross-country teams affect the organization of work and the
structure of wages? To study this question we propose a theory of the assignment of
heterogeneous agents into hierarchical teams, where less skilled agents specialize in ...

Most economic activity occurs in cities. This creates a tension between local increasing
returns, implied by the existence of cities, and aggregate constant returns, implied by
balanced growth. To address this tension, we develop a general equilibrium theory of ...

This paper presents a theory of establishment size dynamics based on the accumulation of
industry-specific human capital that simultaneously rationalizes the economy-wide facts on
establishment growth rates, exit rates, and size distributions. The theory predicts that ...

The equilibrium relationship between trade and the spatial distribution of economic activity is
fundamental to the analysis of national and regional trade patterns, as well as to the effect of
trade frictions. We study this relationship using a trade model with a continuum of regions, ...

This paper examines the effects of information and communication technologies (ICT) on
urban structure. Improvements in ICT may lead to changes in urban structure, for example,
because they reduce the costs of communicating ideas from a distance. Hence, they may ...

The paper studies the optimal distribution of business and residential land in a circular city.
Once the optimum is characterized, we analyze the effect of changes in commuting costs

Since the seminal work of Lawrence F. Katz and Kevin M. Murphy (1992), the study of wage
inequality has taken as its starting point a neoclassical constant-elasticity-of-substitution
production function using as inputs capital and low-and high-skill labor. This approach ...

Abstract We study the prediction of the theory in Rossi-Hansberg [Rossi-Hansberg E (2005)

private information about the quality of their ideas. Because of an adverse selection ...
Why do firms decide to offshore certain parts of their production process? What qualifies

We present a theory of spatial development. Manufacturing and services firms located in a
