This paper presents a simple, analytically solvable Chamberlinian agglomeration model. As in the canonical core-periphery (CP) model, two agglomerative forces are at work. However, the present model exhibits a ’pitchfork bifurcation’ rather than the ’tomahawk bifurcation’ of the CP model.

The spatial effects of trade openness: a survey (2011, methodology): “9 The former paper is based on the Pflüger (2004) variant of the NEG model, which can be solved analytically and features smooth changes in spatial configurations rathe than the discrete “catastrophes” inherent in the Krugman (1991) model, while the latter considers the original Krugman (1991)…”
