The main requirements are a uniform monotonicity assumption on preferences and that no permutation of the allocation among agents yields a Pareto improvement. No convexity assumption on preferences is used, the positive orthant need not have interior, while the proof is constructive. Applications to finite and infinite dimensional commodity spaces are discussed.

We thank Clara Asnes for help with the figures. Comments and suggestions made by Masa Fujita, Tony Smith, and Jacques Thisse in the Regional Science Theory Workshop at the University of Pennsylvania were invaluable. Conversations with Jim Peck were quite helpful as well. Detailed comments from a referee and John Quigley (the editor) substantially improved the readability of the paper. We also thank

Firms use different types of labor to produce different outputs. Locations of all agents are endogenous as are prices and quantities. This is among the first articles to apply smooth economy techniques to urban economics. Existence of equilibrium and its determinacy properties depend crucially on the relative numbers of outputs, types of labor, and firms. More differentiated labor implies more equilibria. We provide tight lower bounds on labor differentiation for existence of equilibrium. If these sufficient conditions are satisfied, then generically there is a continuum of equilibria for given parameter values. Finally, an equilibrium allocation is not necessarily Pareto optimal in this model.

In such economies, optima are usually second best because the identities of the agents are not known to the government. Although it is generally unclear how to handle information problems in cooperative games such as the one examined here: two core concepts are explored. For the first concept, incentive compatibility is imposed only within potential blocking coalitions, and the core consists only of head taxes or is empty if there are no increasing returns to coalition size. For the second concept, incentive compatibility is also imposed for potential entrants into blocking coalitions, and the core is shown to be empty for a simple, reasonable, and interesting class of models.
