Abstract

We show that spatial inequalities in an economic space of multiple countries in terms of both nominal income and real income are ubiquitous in the sense that they appear when countries are differentiated by population only. A new trade theory model is constructed without any freely traded homogeneous good, so that we can examine the home market effect (HME) and the non-monotonic relation between income inequalities and globalization. Meanwhile, there are three HME definitions for a two-country space in terms of firm share, labor wage, and trade pattern. The first two remain applicable in a multicountry space, and they are shown to be equivalent. However, a natural extension of the third is not equivalent.

6. Conclusion

This paper reveals the close relation between the country size and economic activity in a multicountry space when there are no relative advantages in technology, resource endowment and D.-Z. Zeng, T. Uchikawa / Journal of Mathematical Economics 50 (2014) 225–233 231 geographic feature. Unlike most NTT papers, our framework does not assume a freely traded homogeneous good, so wage rates are endogenously determined, deriving the spatial income inequality. The results show that the spatial income inequalities in terms of both nominal income and real income are ubiquitous.
