Abstract
The notion of effective space is introduced, and input congestion is explained by economic activities’ exhaustion of effective space. In this setting, I show that profit maximization is inconsistent with input congestion at the firm level, but not necessarily with input congestion at the industry level, when effective space is shared among producers.
