Research Abstract

So-called "new geographical economics" emphasizes the endogenous agglomeration of economic activities through the interaction of increasing returns and transport costs, which is in contrast with the traditional international trade theory based on constant returns. Based on the viewpoint of new geographical economics, this research studies the recent development of both Japanese regional system and the international regional system of East Asia in a unified manner. We explain the mechanism of the endogenous formation of regional economic system and its transformation in the long run. It is indicated that the framework of the new geographical economics is well suited to explain the dynamic phenomena of frontier economies, such as the formation of "core-periphery" regional structure, "hallowing-out" of industries form the core region, and the "massive mobilization of resources" as well as the so-called "flying geese pattern" of Asia's development. It is shown that the economic growth of Japan was accompanied with the formation of a typical core-periphery structure of Japanese regional system, and that a sort of a "flying geese pattern" of interregional manufacturing relocation occurred also within Japan. Next, we examine the changes in the location of manufacturing industries in East Asia, and explore the relationship between these changes and the regional transformation of Japan. It is shown that Japan dominates more strongly over the rest of East Asia in those industries that are more highly concentrated in the Japanese Core, and conversely that the rest of East Asia is relatively stronger in those industries that are relatively weaker in Japanese Core. It is also shown that the manufacturing agglomerated first in the Japanese Core, and then it gradually dispensed sequentially to Japanese Periphery, to Asian NIES, and then to ASEAN and China.
