Free entry drives profit to zero, and the optimal output level is the same for each firm in any

the associated equilibrium labour input is also constant and given by:
l* = α + βxi = α + α (σ -1) = ασ

Full employment of the labour force allow us to determine the number of manufacturing

the number of firms in region i.
