Research Abstract

Since the Nobel Prize has been awarded to P.Krugman (Princeton Univ.) in 2008 for his development of spatial economics, the role of geography in economics has been one of the most active research topics. In this project, the basic empirical framework for the spatial economics is developed, and is applied to Japanese and the US data. It is shown that the location patterns of industries and population are subject to an extremely robust order. While the role of geography in economics has long been ignored, this research provides strong evidence that geography could matter crucially for understanding industrial and demographic structure of regional economies as well as their economic policy design.
