| Research Abstract |
This study presents a multi-region model based on the new economic geography (NEG) with transport costs of materials. Consumable goods are differentiated among firms. Materials are differentiated among regions. Results show that (i) economic activities increase agglomeration tendency as the transport cost ratio (materials/goods) decreases, and that (ii) location patterns change, showing dispersion - agglomeration - dispersion, with a decline of transport costs. Furthermore, introducing distributions of land and social capital in 10 Asian countries, simulation results show that the location of economic activities traces a course of four stages : (i) dispersion ; (ii) concentration to China ; (iii) concentration to India ; and (iv) re-dispersion. In addition, I investigate the location of economic activities in Japan, by simulating a NEG model with an input-output structure.
