附：The brief introduction of spatial economy

The Spatial Economy will likely become the cornerstone of the revitalized field of economic geography. Economic geography has always been a critical link in the stories economists have told, but most have regarded the field as essentially intractable. The new willingness to work in this field results largely from new tools (especially those from international trade and growth theory) that have removed some of the technical barriers that once prohibited extensive research efforts in this field.

The authors rely heavily upon the familiar Dixit-Stiglitz model of monopolistic competition that offers a way to respect the effects of increasing returns at the level of the individual firm but simplifies things enough to avoid getting bogged down in the details of increasing returns. This model is used to answer two very useful questions: (1) What are the conditions under which a spatial concentration of economic activity is sustainable, and (2) when is a symmetric equilibrium, without spatial concentration, unstable? Before answering these questions, however, the authors present a useful review of both urban economics and regional science.

Urban economists are familiar with the classic monocentric city model, which is augmented by a theory of agglomeration based on external economies, and it is this model that underlies much of the analysis in the book. The classic monocentric model of urban economics is von Thunen's model substituting commuters for farmers and substituting a central business district for von Thunen's isolated town. As urban economists recognized, we do not see monocentric models in reality. As a result, they developed models that do support a polycentric urban structure. This book is meant to serve as a complementary work in many respects to the existing urban economic work. While most of the traditional literature focuses on how and why economic activity spreads out from a city center (centrifugal forces), Masahisa Fujita, Paul Krugman, and Anthony Venables develop a theory of spatial organization that takes account of the distance-related tension between centripetal and centrifugal forces.

A brief review of the existing tenets of regional analysis follows in which the authors work through the development of a spatial version of the Dixit-Stiglitz model of monopolistic competition. In this framework, externalities emerge as a result of interactions involving economies of scale at the firm level. The benefit of this treatment is that there is no direct assumption of external economies, which is what exists in most traditional urban models. One unusual feature of the Dixit-Stiglitz approach is that the range of manufactures supplied becomes an endogenous variable. It therefore becomes very important to understand the impact on the consumer of a change in the number and variety of goods and services offered.

Some time is spent laying out the mathematical details of the Dixit-Stiglitz model as it applies to spatial analysis in Chapter 4. The important results are those that lead to agglomeration effects: (1) An area with a large manufacturing sector tends to have low price indexes for manufactures; (2) areas with a large demand for manufactures tend to have disproportionately large manufacturing sectors because of the home market effect; and (3) manufacturing workers themselves demand manufactured goods so that locations with large concentrations of manufacturing also tend to have large demand for manufactured products.

The core-periphery model is then developed by setting up the Dixit-Stiglitz economy with two sectors, agriculture and manufacturing, where the geographical distribution of resources is partly exogenous and partly endogenous. Transportation costs are modeled initially as von Thunen/ Samuelson "iceberg" costs in which part of the goods in transit simply "melt away." This assumption is relaxed in Chapter 7, in which the authors develop a model of agricultural transport costs. While the core-periphery model presented here is simple enough for some basic analysis, it is complex enough to yield some interesting conclusions. It shows in some detail, for example, how spatial economies emerge from the interactions among increasing returns at the level of the firm, transportation costs, and factor mobility. The next chapter stays with the essence of this basic model, but considers the implications of multiple regions.

Interestingly, in the multiple-region model, much of the intuition from the simple two-region model carries through. According to the authors, "The same factors that work toward concentration of economic activity in that model tend to produce fewer, larger concentrations in a multiple-region or continuous-space model." This is the conclusion of the Turing analysis, taken from a classic paper in theoretical biology, which is presented in this section.

The authors then turn to the questions of what holds a city together and why the locations of cities are so persistent; although individuals and firms that make up these cities are continually "turning over." These questions are answered with a heuristic approach. It is shown that firms locate at a cusp in the market potential function that is created by a concentration of other firms. The authors also show that cities may form along a hierarchy due to differences in transport costs and scale economies. The fundamental question of city formation is also addressed. It is shown that cities are formed by a growing agricultural population, which eventually makes it advantageous for individual producers to establish new cities. They also show that it is possible to apply their region/city analysis of earlier chapters to the processes that drive specialization and trade among nations since "international trade theory is simply international location theory."
