Tiivistelmä: | This paper studies the making of Marshallian districts by assuming that the cost function of a firm is a decreasing function of the total output produced in the past by the firms established by the locale. When new firms set up in a locale, they exacerbate competition on the corresponding labor market, thus leading to a wage rise that reduces the incentives for firms to locate in the most efficient district. The short-run equilibrium distribution of firms is studied as well as the long run properties of the adjustment process. |
