Abstract: | The interpretation of the loss of utility as transport costs in address models of differentiation poses a methodological difficulty. Transport costs implicitely amounts to assume that there is a good neither included in the differentiated sector nor in the composite (numeraire) good of the economy. We propose to use iceberg-type transport costs to solve this difficulty. |
