Abstract Using a small, open, two-region economy model populated by two-period-lived overlapping generations, we analyze long-term agglomeration and congestion diseconomy effects of young worker concentration on migration the overall fertility rate. When migration-stability condition is satisfied, distribution workers between regions obtainable in each period for predetermined population size. ...

Very large urban centers are a conspicuous feature of many developing economies, yet the subject of the size distribution of cities (as opposed to such issues as rural-urban migration) has been neglected by development economists. This article argues that some important insights into urban concentration, especially the tendency of some developing countries to have very large primate cities, can...

As production and economic activities shaped the growth of cities during pre-industrial era, they are still most important factors explaining modern urbanization. Economic restructuring is being reshaped with agglomeration economies, bringing spatial it. Regional growth, emergence new centers foci formed in equilibria positive negative externalities agglomeration. Positive do not arise solely f...

In this paper, we seek to establish ‘sequencing economics’ in an architectural theory on agglomerations that are comprised of various segments, such as infrastructure, institutions and human resources. The sequencing segments is based a causal chain, with the notion ‘economies sequence’ regarded tool which efficiently sequence segment construction, defined by Granger causality relationships. us...
