“…Крупные города предоставляют преимущества для создания новых фирм, они также принимают конкурентов, снижая шансы на успех для начинающих предпринимателей. Используя общие аддитивные предпочтения в квазилинейной постановке, К. Беренс и другие (Behrens, Pokrovsky and Zhelobodko, 2018) показывают, что крупные рынки могут иметь либо жесткий, либо слабый отбор предпринимателей, поскольку отбор задан свойствами предпочтений. Крупные города увеличивают заработную плату, изменяя отдачу от наемного труда.…”

In the past three decades, many analytical and quantitative models have been developed that seek to explain the inequalities in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, from international and regional to urban. We show that a number of theoretical and empirical works have shaped the New Economic Geography, whose framework is defined by general equilibrium models, heterogeneity, and microeconomic data of quantitative models. Early theoretical work focused on stylized analytical models that made empirical research difficult. The transition to empirical research required a revision of the canonical assumptions that are used in the basic models. Quantitative models focus mainly on applied issues of spatial economics with significant public policy implications. Quantitative models validate the results of analytical models using classic micro-foundations borrowed from urban and transport economies. The challenge for the New Economic Geography is an interdisciplinary dialogue with institutional economics, economic sociology, and endogenous growth theory to explore the problems of institutional heterogeneity and inequality of opportunity. In fact, we can talk about the fusion of disciplines, which will allow us to apply the provisions of the New Economic Geography to the analysis of historical, geographical and other modes of functioning of institutions.

“…The scale effect of HSR has two aspects. First, HSR links the originally isolated cities, which eliminates the obvious restrictions on administrative divisions [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. This process will promote an increase in returns to scale and attract capital, a labor force, and other factors from other cities [ 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”

High-speed rail (HSR) increases the non-local connections in cities and plays an essential role in urban land use efficiency. This paper uses a multi-period difference-in-difference model and a threshold model based on sample data that cover 284 Chinese cities from 2003–2018 to investigate the impact of HSR on urban land use efficiency. The results show that there is a 0.021 increase in urban land use efficiency after opening the HSR. The number of HSR stations and routes can increase the urban land use efficiency by 0.004 and 0.013, respectively. Compared with the cities in the East, the midwestern ones are more vulnerable to the impact of HSR. In particular, the positive impact of the number of HSR stations on the urban land use efficiency in cities with an urban population density exceeding 795 person/km2 is two times larger than cities with an urban population density of less than 795 person/km2. In addition, the impact of the number of HSR routes on urban land use efficiency in cities with an urban population density of less than 1003 person/km2 is five times larger than that of cities with an urban population density exceeding 1003 person/km2.

Symmetric tax competition and welfare with footloose capital

This paper examines the tax competition for mobile capital between two symmetric countries in a monopolistic competition economy. Taxation generates its own distortions of location and consumption as long as consumers/governments deviate from the symmetric equilibrium. Taking all possible distortions into account, this paper finds that the equilibrium tax rate may be positive and increasing when trade costs are high while it is negative and decreasing when trade costs are low if consumers have additively separable preferences displaying an increasing relative love for variety. This nonmonotonic relationship of tax rate with trade costs is further accompanied by welfare loss when market integration starts. The procompetitive effect and the income effect are both crucial to deriving the results.
