Economic geography
“By ‘economic geography’ I mean ‘the location of production in space’; that is, that branch of economics that worries where things happen in relation to one another.”(Krugman 1991, pp. 1)
“Economic geography seeks to explain the riddle of unequal spatial development.”(Combes, Mayer and Thisse 2008, pp. xiii)
“Economic geography explicitly integrates the mobility of factors (capital and/or labor).”(Combes, Mayer and Thisse 2008, pp. xiv)

Core-periphery relations
Myrdal (1957):Investment flows to advanced regions.Well educated workers migrate from the periphery to the core.
Krugman (1991): Economic integration increases or triggers regional disparities.
The location of firms (physical capital) and workers (labour) becomes endogenous.

Neoclassical growth theory
Assumptions of standard neoclassical models:Closed economiesHomogeneous labourNo mobility costs
Convergence hypothesisConvergence between regions is likely due to similarity (Barro and Sala-i-Martin 1995, López-Bazo 2003).Labour migration accelerates convergence between regions (Barro and Sala-i-Martin 2004).

Human capital
Plays a paramount importance in accounting for regional differences in development (Gennaioli et al., 2013).
Can result in a major spatial reallocation of factors (Faggian and McCann, 2009).
A city’s or a region’s stock of human capital is often the main determinant of its economic and social future (Prager and Thisse, 2012).

Features of the models
Adopting economic geography’s perspectives to a neoclassical setting:
Microeconomic decisions shape macroeconomic outcomes.The present allocation of physical and human capital is decisive on future allocations.The mobility of factors is bounded by distance.In the long run, disparities with respect to factor allocation prevail.

Human capital determines a region’s attractiveness for mobile factors, which includes human capital.
Regions with initially high factor endowments benefit from economic integration.
Instruments to support convergence:altering the level of economic integration,
compensating disadvantaged regions by subsidies,
benefitting from increasing returns (e.g. metropolitan regions),
increasing investments and educational spending.

Summary of results
![Page 24: The Spatial Distribution of Human and Physical Capital in Integrated Economic Systems: Theory and Implications Sascha Sardadvar St. Petersburg, 3 December](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697c0071a28abf838cc600a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Conclusions and outlook
The spatial distribution of human capital is both cause and effect of factor relocations.
Under free market forces, factor relocations lead to spatial inequality of factor distribution.
Without state intervention, disparities will prevail in the long run.
