Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie les décisions de localisation des entreprises et des travailleurs, ainsi que la manière dont celles-ci interagissent avec les caractéristiques locales des marchés du travail. Le premier chapitre se concentre sur les entreprises et s’intéresse à un nouveau mécanisme qui les incite à s’implanter dans les villes les plus denses : le rôle de la volatilité de la demande et de son interaction avec la productivité des entreprises. Ce processus tient à des conditions d’embauche plus fluides qui attirent les entreprises productives pouvant plus rapidement réduire ou augmenter leurs e

Abstract:
While economic geography is concerned chiefly with proximity, models in urban economics eliminate proximity as a relative metric in order to preserve tractability. I introduce a new method of solving spatial models that allows for the consideration of proximity in an economic geography setting while retaining much of the tractability of the urban framework. The first chapter in this thesis introduces the solution method for continuous space geography models and shows how it reduces the complexity of the equilibrium conditions and allows such a model to generate more predictions than was prev

Abstract:
The recent Nobel Prize assigned to Paul Krugman "for his analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity" witnesses the important role that the scienti�c community gives to the insights of the so-called New Economic Geography (NEG) literature. This field of economic analysis has always been particularly appealing to policy makers, given the direct link between its results and regional policy rules. For the same reason it is useful to deepen the analysis of its most important outputs by testing the theoretical robustness of some of its more relevant statements. This thesis tries

This thesis tests the predictions of theoretical models of trade and economic geography using micro-data from India. As part of a large, poor and rapidly developing country, Indian households receive a disproportionate share of attention from development economists. However, there remain large gaps in the understanding of its other microentities – firms. In Chapter 1, I use detailed panel-level data on 8,253 manufacturing firms from 1990 to 2008 and demonstrate how firms that export differ from their counterparts who cater to the domestic market.

The evolutionary economic geography of climate change is concerned with the processes by which the landscapes of greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to climate change are transformed from within over time.

This thesis articulates an evolutionary economic geography perspective on three debates: (1) What factors influence human systems’ capacity to adapt to climate change, and how can t

Moreover, empirical studies from firm-level data provide evidence of heterogeneous distribution in companies performance also within industries, regions and countries.
