GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM OF SPATIAL PRODUCT AND LABOR MARKETS*
构建了一个连接空间产品市场与劳动力市场的简单一般均衡模型,分析技术进步和厂商进入对市场结构、工资和价格的影响,发现空间经济中规模报酬递增时也能实现零利润长期均衡。
ABSTRACT A simple general equilibrium model relates spatial product markets and spatial labor markets. The firm is treated as being a spatial monopolist or as a Löschian competitor in the output market and as a spatial monopsonist in the labor market. Derived free spatial demand and free regional labor supply are defined, and their properties examined. The model provides the framework for analyzing the impact of a technological improvement in labor productivity on the structure of the spatial markets. The impact of entry on spatial labor supply is an important determinant of whether or not entry lowers wages and raises output prices. Unlike the spaceless competitive paradigm, zero‐profit long‐run equilibrium can occur in a space economy under conditions of increasing returns to scale.
