... Second, it is quite common in the empirical literature to proxy agglomeration forces using the so-called market potential or market access variable. Fujita and Thisse (2013) point out that the market potential effect is probably responsible for the agglomeration of economic activities at a large geographical scale but not at a local spatial level of analysis such as the ones conducted in these types of empirical works. Finally, testing the causal effects of agglomeration forces on tax-setting decisions across local jurisdictions clearly violates the labour immobility assumption upon which FC capital models are built. ...

... Furthermore, in the process of revealing these properties of equilibrium in spatial competition, another fundamental question emerged: As Eaton's paper noted, when the market is linear and the number of firms is three, there exists no pure strategy equilibrium. The existence of pure strategy equilibrium is recovered in a three person location game where after firms' location decisions, consumers has opportunity to relocate (see M. Fujita and J.F. Thisse (1986)). The location game is the special case of games with discontinuous payoff, for which did P. Dasgupta and E. Maskin (1986) show the existence of mixed strategy equilibrium. ...

... Firms may locate close to competition for both demand and supply side benefits, which has the potential to enhance firm survival. On the supply side, Marshallian type externalities (i.e., knowledge spillovers, labor market externalities, or sharing of intermediate inputs) allows firms to enjoy economies of scale and are often associated with industries that are more basic in nature (Fuijta andThisse 2002, Duranton andPuga 2004). On the demand side, firms can enjoy additional foot traffic by locating close to each other (e.g., comparison-shopping or market potential) (Wolinsky 1983, Chung and Kalnins 2001, Konishi 2005. ...

... No ambiente corporativo, quando empresas, instituições de ensino, governo e comunidade se unem para criar um ambiente colaborativo e inovador, isso é chamado de interativo por natureza, referindo que tem como antecedentes conceitos como a aglomeração regional (Fujita, & Thisse, 2002), aglomerados regionais inovadores (Saxenian, 1994), aglomerados industriais (Feldman, Francis, & Bercovitz, 2005;Porter, 1990) e sistemas nacionais de inovação (Lundvall, 1992), que vêm moldando as políticas locais de desenvolvimento económico. ...
