We present a new economic geography (NEG) model with a linear demand function where firms may change the perception of their relative dimension with respect to the local market. If they perceive themselves as big, they behave as Cournot oligopolists, otherwise they behave as monopolistic competitors. We study the dynamic properties and give an economic interpretation.

Abstract
We present a new economic geography (NEG) model with a linear demand function where firms may change the perception of their relative dimension with respect to the local market. If they perceive themselves as big, they behave as Cournot oligopolists, otherwise they behave as monopolistic competitors. We study the dynamic properties and give an economic interpretation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
