PPT-CHAPTER 4 Key Agglomeration Economies

Agglomeration Economies Introduction Firms cluster in cities to exploit external economies of scale in production The two types of agglomeration economies are Localization economies Urbanization economies. In reviewing possible explanations for this the article 57506nds unconvincing such common suggestions as declining terms of trade and rising restrictions to primary product markets abroad It suggests the most likely reason is these countries own dis There is substantial ev idence of such agglomeration economies based on a clustering of production beyond what can be explained by chance or the heterogeneity of space based on the spatial patterns of wages and rents and based on the direct measurem City Size. Why do cities differ in size and scope? . In this Chapter we explore the economic forces responsible for the development of cities with different sizes.. Determinants of City Size.

Larger cities benefit from agglomeration economies . Strength of agglomerates derives from the action of binding forces, acting either at the coordination points between the particles or the interfaces between a matrix binder and the particulate solids or, respectively, by the negative capillary pressure of a liquid filling the pore volume..
