Economies of Scale and the Existence of Supply-Side Equilibria in a Production-Constrained Spatial-Interaction Model

Pattern changes are explored as a function of the given population distributions to show the existence of new kinds of critical points in the production-constrained spatial-interaction model.

Abstract

In previous research it has been shown that discrete changes in spatial patterns of supply in the production-constrained spatial-interaction model arise from changes in parameters such as α and β In this case, pattern changes are explored as a function of the given population distributions. This shows the existence of new kinds of critical points.
