摘要：In modern economies, the amount of proﬁts distributed to share- holders is far from being negligible. We show that the way they are distributed among agents matters for the space-economy. For exam- ple, the existence of mobile rentiers is suﬃcient to make the symmetric conﬁguration unstable for all transport cost values and to make par- tial agglomeration of ﬁrms stable. Obviously, to account for proﬁts and for their distribution, the assumption of free entry must be abandoned. So doing, we ignore ﬁxed costs and show that it is imperfect compe- tition more than increasing returns that matters for the formation of agglomeration in economic geography..
