A footloose entrepreneur model in a continuous space
Kensuke Ohtake
This paper studies a footloose entrepreneur model in a continuous space. In an appropriate function space, the model is formulated as an initial value problem for an infinite-dimen…
Pattern formation by advection-diffusion in new economic geography
Kensuke Ohtake
This paper studies spatial patterns formed by proximate population migration driven by real wage gradients and other idiosyncratic factors. The model consists of a tractable core-p…
City formation by dual migration of firms and workers
Kensuke Ohtake
The Core-Periphery model in the new economic geography, which considers the single migration of workers driven by real wage inequality among regions, is extended to incorporate the…
A micro-founded comparison of fiscal policies between indirect and direct job creation
Kensuke Ohtake
The purpose of this paper is to provide a micro-economic foundation for an argument that the direct employment by the government is more desirable than the government purchase of p…
Agglomeration and welfare of the Krugman model in a continuous space
Kensuke Ohtake
Two spatial equilibria, agglomeration and dispersion, in a continuous space core-periphery model are examined to discuss which equilibrium is socially preferred. It is shown that w…
Continuous space core-periphery model with transport costs in differentiated agriculture
Kensuke Ohtake
The core-periphery model with transport costs in differentiated agriculture is extended to continuous space. A homogeneous stationary solution is unstable but exhibits redispersion…
Agglomeration triggered by the effect of the number of regions: A model in NEG with a quadratic subutility
Kensuke Ohtake
We extend the mathematical model proposed by Ottaviano-Tabuchi-Thisse (2002) to a multi-regional case and investigate the stability of the homogeneous stationary solution of the mo…
A continuous space model of new economic geography with a quasi-linear log utility function
Kensuke Ohtake
We consider the extension of a tractable NEG model with a quasi-linear log utility to continuous space, and investigate the behavior of its solution mathematically. The model is a…
