Example text
With monopolistic competition firms are assumed to represent certain discernable product varieties. However, in most models they are not different from a qualitative point of view as regards their production function or special qualities of their variety. We still deal with representative agents. Agents are thus only studied with respect to their quantitative features. The methodological problem of modelling the micro-level without increasing complexity too much has also been called the "no bridge controversy" between micro- and macrolevel by Marengo and Willinger (1997: 336).
However, in a world where nearly everything seems to be mobile, taking given endowments as a starting-point of analysis may be misleading. The neoclassical and also some more recent approaches are the best example for the fact that the "social landscape" of the economic approach is like a "desert - far from the sociological concern with actual towns and cities" (Lie 1997: 344). 1. Countries that have an extension in two-dimensional space are assumed as given and provided with given features like the distribution of immobile agents and resources among them.
G. from national to supranational); • social mobility: breaking up old ties, creating new. Social mobility is not to be understood in the sense of social hierarchies, but rather as the mobility and flexibility of ties and relationships. Depending on the strength of ties and their distribution in space, the direction as well as the degree of spatial mobility will be influenced. We therefore deal with a framework that recognizes that mobility is an important phenomenon with many facets. Of course, for the approach chosen here economic aspects of mobility will be in the center of interest.
