This paper analyzes the impact of fiscal equalization on asymmetric tax competition when positive agglomeration externalities are present. It shows that equalization of standardized tax revenue improves the spatial allocation of capital provided that agglomeration externalities are sufficiently strong. JEL Classification: R12, H71, H73.

This paper develops a model of economic growth and activity locating endogenously on a 3dimensional featureless global geography. The same economic forces influence simultaneously growth, convergence, and spatial agglomeration and clustering. Economic activity is not concentrated on discrete isolated points but instead a dynamically-fluctuating, smooth spatial distribution. Spatial inequality i...

This thesis examines several distinct aspects of agglomeration externalities within an urban economy. In particular, the work focuses on location decisions of agents who face trade-offs between advantages in dense locations versus cheaper land prices available in suburban and exurban regions of the city. Two general equilibrium models of location are presented which study different aspects of l...

Particle aggregation and film agglomeration have been among the main technical hurdles for solid-state thin film development and have been observed in many semiconductor and catalytic systems. In heterogeneous catalysis, particle aggregation leads to reduction of effective surface area and degradation of catalytic performance. On semiconductor surfaces, film agglomeration may give rise to elect...

This paper uses the data of 30 provincial-level panel in China to establish a dynamic simultaneous equations model. The system generalized moment estimation (sysgmm) and three-stage least squares (3SLS) are used estimate test robustness model, respectively, study relationship between financial competition industrial agglomeration. results show that: (1) there is bidirectional causal Financial t...
