Research Abstract |
This project develops spatial economics and considers policies to realize sustainable growth of urban and regional economics from the following four aspects. 1. We formulate models of spatial economics which can be applied to examine urban and regional policies for economic growth. In particular, we reveal a new mechanism of spatial income inequality which is related to the research of economic inequality and growth theory. 2. We examine policies for sustainable development of cities and regions. We investigate the role of tourism industry, the behavior of city developers and land use. 3. We study transport policies from the viewpoints of industrial agglomeration and disaster prevention. 4. In empirical studies, we examine interregional utility differentials, agglomeration effect of inter-firm backward and forward linkages and decreasing transportation costs by use of firm-level data.
