Technological Linkages and Efficient Location of Indivisible Activities: Koopmans – Beckmann and von Thünen Unified
构建了一个包含两家不可分割企业及连续工人的模型,通过土地资本化过程设计非合作博弈,证明均衡存在且社会最优,并讨论了多种扩展。
Consider a model à la Koopmans–Beckmann involving two indivisible and interactive firms, as well as a continuum of workers. Firm 2 uses labor, while firm 1 uses labor and good 2 produced by firm 2; both goods 1 and 2 can be exported, but good 2 cannot be imported. The land capitalization process, based on workers′ competition in a perfectly competitive land market, is used to design a noncooperative game between firms 1 and 2. The equilibria of this game always exist and are socially optimal. Various extensions of the basic model are also discussed.
