INDUSTRY LOCATION CHIOCE MODELS IN NEW ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY AND SCIENCES OF COMPLEXITY
比较了新经济地理学与复杂性科学在解释产业区位选择上的差异：前者假设完全理性与一般均衡，后者假设有限理性与动态演化，并指出未来趋势是与其他科学融合。
At the beginning of 1990's, industry location choices are explained by new economic geography and sciences of complexity. Their differences are: economic agents' decision-making behavior in new economic geography is assumed in perfect rationality. However, in complexity sciences economic agents' behavior is assumed in bounded rationality. The basic frame used by new economic geography is general equilibrium. It still follows the tradition of mainstream economics. Nevertheless the basic viewpoint of complexity sciences is dynamic and evolutionary. The outcomes depend on not only history selection but also agglomeration. Their similarities are in: increasing return of scale, path dependence and backward-looking behavior. According to analysis and comparison, the future trend about economic geography is to synthesize with other sciences.
