An increase in the regional size works through changes in the variety of goods (firms)
available, leaving inalterated both mark-up over marginal cost and the scale of individual

effective population of workers:
n1 = Ll
n 2 L2

3.5 Equilibrium conditions in goods and labour markets
In equilibrium the optimal output for any firm should be equal to the demand for its product
in both regions:

After some manipulation, using the pricing rule equation, we obtain the following
expression for the nominal wages at which each firm breaks even:
