Economic geography meets hotelling: a home-sweet-home effect. In Workshop in Mathematical Economics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto, 15 Novemberhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/30060We propose a 2-region core-periphery model where all agents are inter-regionally mobile and have Hotelling-type heterogeneous preferences for location. The utility penalty from residing in a location that is not the preferred one generates the only dispersive force of the model: the home-sweet-home effect. Different distributions of preferences for location induce different spatial distributions in the long-run depending on the short-run general equilibrium economic geography model that is considered. We study the effect of two of those: the linear and the logit home-sweet-home effects.engEconomic geographyHeterogeneous location preferencesMigrationconference object
