On the distribution of capital and labour in a closed economy (Q1893925): Difference between revisions

Assume that the conditions of capital investment and living are more or less the same everywhere in a closed economy, ``closed'' meaning that there is no in- and outflow of capital and labour. In this paper we show that even in this case the distribution of capital and labour force will not necessarily be homogeneous. Under certain conditions in domains of positive measure of the parameter space we may have a stable uneven distribution of these basic characteristics of the economy. This result is a consequence of a possible Turing bifurcation, i.e. the occurrence of a diffusion driven instability.
