Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the field of New (New) Trade Theory and Spatial Economics, many researchers examine the cause and effect of regional inequality and trade policies. However, most of them are based on on-factor models only with labor as production factor, and neglect the existence of mobile capital, although it can drastically change the results. In the present study, therefore, I develop several spatial-economy models with mobile capital, and mainly implement the following three analyses: (1) an analysis of regional inequalities considering elastic labor supply, (2) effects of a common tax on greenhouse gas emissions on regional inequalities, (3) an analysis of optimal tariff and tariff war.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

可動資本を組み入れた独占的競争モデルはFootloose Capital (FC)モデルと呼ばれ,空間経済学の分野で多く用いられている.しかしそのほとんどは簡単化のため輸送費用なしで貿易できる財(outside goods)を仮定しており,そのため国際賃金格差が生じない非現実的なモデルとなっている.本研究では一貫してoutside goodsを仮定しないFCモデルをベースとしており,内生的な賃金格差を踏まえることができる利点を持っている.資本が自由に移動するグローバルな現代社会においては,1要素モデルの分析は限界があり,本研究のアプローチは学術的にも社会的にも高い意義を持つと思われる.
