| Research Abstract |
This research has conducted a comprehensive study on the economics of complex spatial systems, focusing on the five research tasks below :
(1) Basic theory : From a common viewpoint of complex spatial systems, we have unified the spatial economics with endogenous growth theory by introducing new factors such as R&D agglomeration with knowledge externalities and the speed of innovations and knowledge spillover. We have also developed new models of knowledge creation and transfer among heterogeneous people, and new models of new economic geography with multinational firms. We have also developed a new information measure of detecting the spatial extent of economic / industrial agglomeration.
(2) Empirical study on industrial agglomeration : Focusing on IT industry, we have investigated the collaboration between industries, local governments and academic institutions, and the contribution of industrial agglomeration on regional development.
(3) Urban systems : based on our new models, we have investigated the dynamic process of urban system development, and the relationship among urbanization, birth rate, and income distribution. We have also empirically identified the agglomeration of manufacturing industries in Japan.
(4) International regional system : Based on our new models, we have examined the relationship between trade pattern and transport networks, and the flying geese pattern of industrial transfer from developed countries to developing countries under the influence of knowledge spillover.
(5) Industrial / urban location and transport・information system : We have investigated the impact of second-best transport policies on the urban spatial structure. Finally, we have developed the data-base on transportation networks and regional economic activities, and investigated the social benefits of transport improvement.
