Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="es"> Teniendo en cuenta que los países en desarrollo poseen menos capital y tecnologías menos avanzadas, este artículo investiga teóricamente el efecto conjunto de dos fuerzas de primera naturaleza, las ventajas ricardiana y de Heckscher-Ohlin y la fuerza de segunda naturaleza sobre la desigualdad espacial de ingresos. Establecemos un modelo de nueva geografía económica sin un sector tradicional, de modo que los salarios no se igualan. Mediante la combinación de estos tres tipos de fuerzas comerciales, se muestra cómo la desigualdad espacial de ingresos cambia con la integración económica. Se obtienen cuatro patrones de evolución, en consonancia con diferentes resultados empíricos en la literatura.
