Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We present a theory of spatial development. Manufacturing and
services firms located in a continuous geographic area choose each
period how much to innovate. Firms trade subject to transport costs
and technology diffuses spatially. We apply the model to study the
evolution of the US economy in the last half-century and find that it
can generate the reduction in the manufacturing employment share,
the increased spatial concentration of services, the growth in service
productivity starting in the mid-1990s, the rise in the dispersion of
land rents in the same period, as well as several other spatial and
temporal patterns.
