Chaotic Footloose Capital

Abstract: This paper examines the long-term behaviour of a discrete-time Footloose Capital model, where capitalists, who are themselves immobile between regions, move their physical capital between regions in response to economic incentives. The spatial location of industry can exhibit cycles of any periodicity or behave chaotically. Long-term behaviour is highly sensitive to transport costs and to the responsiveness of capitalists to profit differentials. The concentration of industry in one region can result from high… Show more

“…of coexisting stable attractors. Our analysis of a FC model with first nature firms specified in discrete time shows that in contrast to Commendatore et al (2007) and in line with the standard continuous-time version of the FC model, Core-Periphery equilibria are no longer possible stable fixed points of the dynamic system. However, the result that the continuous time formulation hides complex dynamic patterns is widely reinforced by the analysis of our FC model with first nature firms.…”
