Abstract

One of the main issues of these contributions concerns how macroscopic structure — like market areas, agglomerations, and the like — arise though no spatial inhomogeneities are present. Resources are assumed to be mobile, generally there are no local productivity differences assumed, and transportation flows do not necessarily conform to any preassigned radial patterns.
