Abstract

We start from two stylized facts: (1) the positive correlation between agglomeration and growth of economic activities; (2) the strong resemblance between the geography of production and the geography of innovation. In this paper, we construct a model which is consistent with these two stylized facts and illustrates some of the economic mechanisms behind them.
