“…There are a number of spatial economic models of this type. Examples include NEG models with multiple industry sectors, models of the emergence of new cities (Fujita and Mori (1997)), and self-organizing urban structure models in which the spatial interactions between mobile firms and consumers result in the formation of CBDs (e.g., Fujita and Ogawa (1982), Fujita (1988), Berliant et al(2002), Lucas and RossiHansberg (2002), Berliant and Wang (2008)). This extension would be challenging, but would greatly enhance our understanding of the nature of agglomeration economies.…”

We provide an analytical approach that facilitates understanding the bifurcation mechanism of a wide class of economic models involving spatial agglomeration of economic activities. The proposed method overcomes the limitations of the Turing (1952) approach that has been used to analyze the emergence of agglomeration in the multi-regional core-periphery (CP) model of Krugman (1993Krugman ( , 1996. In other words, the proposed method allows us to examine whether agglomeration of mobile factors emerges from a uniform distribution and to analytically trace the evolution of spatial agglomeration patterns (i.e., bifurcations from various polycentric patterns as well as a uniform pattern) that these models exhibit when the values of some structural parameters change steadily. Applying the proposed method to the multi-regional CP model, we uncover a number of previously unknown properties of the CP model, and notably, the occurrence of "spatial period doubling bifurcation" in the CP model is proved.

“…Spillover e¤ects appear 2 See, e.g., Wong (1986). Spillovers have not been extensively analysed in the context of household decision making or occupational choice, in sharp contrast to other areas of economics including productivity (Moretti, 2004); economic growth (Holod and Reed, 2004); innovation (Sena, 2004) and labour mobility (Berliant et al, 2002). not only to be large, but also play an important part in explaining patterns of male and female business ownership.…”

“…In their model, they postulate that firms' profits are lower when firms are located farther apart. Berliant, Peng and Wang (1998) examine urban structures in the presence of uncompensated inter-firm knowledge spillovers which decrease with the distance between firms. Palivos Similar knowledge spillover factors are also considered in Black andHenderson (1998, 1999) in 7 an urban economics context.…”

Despite wide recognition of their significant role in explaining sustained growth and economic development, uncompensated knowledge spillovers have not yet been fully modeled with a microeconomic foundation. The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate the exchange of knowledge as well as its consequences on agglomerative activity in a general-equilibrium search-theoretic framework. Agents, possessing differentiated types of knowledge, search for partners to exchange ideas and create new knowledge in order to improve production efficacy. When individuals' types of knowledge are too diverse, a match is less likely to generate significant innovations. We demonstrate the extent of agglomeration has significant implications for the patterns of information flows in economies. Further, by simultaneously determining the patterns of knowledge exchange and the spatial agglomeration of an economy we identify additional channels for interaction between agglomerative activity and knowledge exchange. Finally, contrary to previous work in spatial agglomeration, our model suggests that agglomerative environments may be either under-specialized and under-populated or over-specialized and over-populated relative to the social optimum.
