摘要:In modern economies, the amount of profits distributed to share-
holders is far from being negligible. We show that the way they are
distributed among agents matters for the space-economy. For exam-
ple, the existence of mobile rentiers is sufficient to make the symmetric
configuration unstable for all transport cost values and to make par-
tial agglomeration of firms stable. Obviously, to account for profits and
for their distribution, the assumption of free entry must be abandoned.
So doing, we ignore fixed costs and show that it is imperfect compe-
tition more than increasing returns that matters for the formation of
agglomeration in economic geography..
