Maurizion Iacopetta (OFCE Sciences Po and Skema
BusinesSchool) publicó Commercial revolutions, search, and development, en cuyo resumen leemos: "A society can reap
more benefits from an improvement in communication and transportation when the
gap between privileged and less-privileged individuals is narrow. This
hypothesis is investigated in a Kiyotaki-Wright search environment where people
enjoy different rental positions. Historical evidence concerning the rise of
Italian seaport cities during the Middle Ages, of the Netherlands in the 17th
century, and the nobility ís resistance to trade in pre-revolutionary France is
used to support the hypothesis."
