Outline of Final Research Achievements

In pursuing sustainable regional economies, we cannot avoid uncertain phenomena, such as natural disasters. Based upon the experience of Higashi-Nihon Big earthquake, we estimate regional economic potentials before/after earthquake by expanding the new economic geography model. By calculating and simulating the model we have reached to the conclusion that workers tend to move back to coastal area by economic recoveries.
By implementing the research we constructed regional economic circulation theory and conducted several applications to real regional economies.
