Abstract

This paper developes an extension of Krugman’s (1991) Core-Periphery model, by considering the traditional sector as a competitive primary sector that makes use of a renewable natural resource. The natural resource can be consumed or used as a raw material in the industrial sector. Three results stand out. First, the dynamics of the resource and its use as a raw material give rise to new dispersion forces: the resource and the primary price index effects. Second, the pattern that arises reverts the usual stability behavior in core-prephery models. And third, different types of bifurcationsarise, resulting in different patterns of agglomeration-dispersion. In addition to transport costs, the productivity of the resource sector plays a key role in the bifurcation diagrams.
