Sampling logit equilibrium and endogenous payoff distortion
Minoru Osawa
We introduce sampling logit equilibrium (SLE) for population games in which agents infer payoffs from a finite sample of opponents' actions and respond according to a logit cho…
Innovation, Spillovers and Economic Geography
José M. Gaspar, Minoru Osawa
We develop a Schumpeterian quality-ladder spatial model in which innovation arrivals depend on regional knowledge spillovers. A parsimonious reduced-form diffusion mechanism induce…
Innovation through intra and inter-regional interaction in economic geography
José M. Gaspar, Minoru Osawa
We develop a two-region economic geography model with vertical innovations that improve the quality of manufactured varieties produced in each region. The chance of innovation depe…
Origin of power laws and their spatial fractal structure for city-size distributions
Tomoya Mori, Takashi Akamatsu, Yuki Takayama +1
City-size distributions follow an approximate power law in various countries despite high volatility in relative city sizes over time. Our empirical evidence for the United States…
Cities in a world of diminishing transport costs
Tomoya Mori, Minoru Osawa
Economic activities favor mutual geographical proximity and concentrate spatially to form cities. In a world of diminishing transport costs, however, the advantage of physical prox…
Most likely retail agglomeration patterns: Potential maximization and stochastic stability of spatial equilibria
Minoru Osawa, Takashi Akamatsu, Yosuke Kogure
We study a model of retail agglomeration where consumers are more likely to visit zones with a higher concentration of shops. This agglomerative effect makes zones with many retail…
Production externalities and dispersion process in a multi-region economy
Minoru Osawa, José M. Gaspar
We consider an economic geography model with two inter-regional proximity structures: one governing goods trade and the other governing production externalities across regions. We…
Spatial scale of agglomeration and dispersion: Number, spacing, and the spatial extent of cities
Takashi Akamatsu, Tomoya Mori, Minoru Osawa +1
How does transport cost affect the spatial organization of economic activities? This study develops a theoretical framework that distinguishes between two types of dispersion force…
