Urbanization and Structural Transformation

Technical Note: An Eaton and Kortum (2002) Model of Urbanization and Structural Transformation

This technical note extends the model of Michaels et al. (2011) to introduce Eaton and Kortum (2002) heterogeneity within each sector, which facilitates a tractable analysis of bilateral transport costs. We show how the resulting model can be calibrated using data on employment by sector and location to determine productivity in each sector and location. We undertake this calibration for each y...

compactifications and representations of transformation semigroups

this thesis deals essentially (but not from all aspects) with the extension of the notion of semigroup compactification and the construction of a general theory of semitopological nonaffine (affine) transformation semigroup compactifications. it determines those compactification which are universal with respect to some algebric or topological properties. as an application of the theory, it is i...
