Abstract
We develop a two-region model in an overlapping generations economy with longevity, assuming that households decide the number of children and the residential location. An examination of the relationship between life expectancy and spatial agglomeration leads to our conclusion that a longer life expectancy promotes agglomeration. The results of our study show that the imbalance of the population distribution between urban and rural areas grows concomitantly with longevity.
期刊介绍:
Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies (RURDS) focuses on issues of immediate practical interest to those involved in policy formation and implementation. Articles contain rigorous empirical analysis, with many emphasizing policy relevance and the operational aspects of the academic disciplines, while others focus on theoretical and methodological issues. Interdisciplinary and international in perspective, RURDS has a wide appeal: in addition to scholars, readership includes planners, engineers and managers in government, business and development agencies worldwide.
