Economic geography seeks to explain the riddle of unequal spatial development. Ever since
the emergence of civilization, human activities and standards of living have been unevenly …

This article presents an overview of the recent development in the new economic geography
(NEG), and discusses possible directions of its future development. Since several surveys …

The sources of urban agglomeration and the development of the urban system have been
studied extensively. Despite the pivotal role of the hinterlands in theories of the development …

This paper serves as an orientation towards the understanding of some of the contributions
and theoretical limitations in New Economic Geography and seeks to provide a prospective …

We develop a framework that integrates natural advantage, agglomeration economies and
firm selection to explain why large cities are both more productive and more unequal than …

A remarkable empirical regularity is that the city size distribution in many countries is well
approximated to a Pareto distribution. This claim is so widely accepted that it has gained the …

We show how spatial evolution is different between the two representative models of
economic geography:[Krugman 99: 483–499, 1991] and [Ottaviano et al. 43: 409–436 …

The progress of spatial agglomeration of Krugman's core–periphery model is investigated by
comparative static analysis of stable equilibria with respect to transport costs. We set forth …

We provide an analytical approach that facilitates understanding the bifurcation mechanism
of a wide class of economic models involving spatial agglomeration of economic activities …

Standard approaches to studying industrial agglomeration have been in terms of scalar
measures of agglomeration within each industry. But such measures often fail to distinguish …
