In the meantime, global GDP and population increased by factors of about 22 and 4, respectively. This reveals that one of the key factors driving the increase in the exploitation of the resources was the growth in world population, although mitigated by the reduction in the intensity in the use of the resources in production. In this paper, we present a model that combines the theory of endogenous growth and the economy of natural resources, but taking into account the geographical distribution of economic activity. Indeed, the New Economic Geography provides insights about two elements that, although speeding up GDP growth, can curb the pressure on natural resources, namely the reduction in transports costs and a boost to pace of innovation. 000130662 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S16-ADETRE$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-75941-R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2017-82246-P 000130662 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000130662 590__ $$a1.93$$b2019 000130662 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b113 / 371 = 0.305$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT1 000130662 592__ $$a0.972$$b2019 000130662 593__ $$aEconomics and Econometrics$$c2019$$dQ2 000130662 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130662 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9410-3531$$aPueyo, Fernando$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130662 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
