Does Technological Progress Magnify Regional Disparities?
Thisse J., Tabuchi T., Zhu X.
In press
We study how technological progress in manufacturing and transportation to-gether with migration costs interact to shape the space-economy. Rising labor productivity in the manufacturing sector fosters the agglomeration of activities, whereas falling transport costs associated with technological and organizational in-novations fosters their dispersion. Since these two forces have been at work for a long time, the final outcome must depend on how drops in the costs of producing and trading goods interact with the various costs borne by migrants. Finally, when labor is heterogeneous, the most efficient workers of the less productive region are the first to move to the more productive region.

In this field of activity it is impossible to substitute capital by labor. In today’s material production the rapid growth of labor ...

technological menu is a special case of a concept of support set discussed by Matveenko (1997) and Rubinov, Glover

functions and technological menus. Also we construct an ...
