The New Economic Geography
综述了新经济地理学文献，该理论利用规模报酬递增和运输成本解释大型集聚的出现，结合传统区域科学与现代贸易理论，为区域间和国际贸易提供整合视角。
Recently, the ‘new economic geography’ literature has developed as a theory of the emergence of large agglomerations which relies on increasing returns to scale and transportation costs. This literature builds on diverse intellectual traditions. It combines the insights of traditional regional science with those of modern trade theory and thus attempts to provide an integrative approach to interregional and international trade. The paper surveys this literature and discusses its relation to earlier approaches to similar topics.
