Potentialised partial differential equations in Spatial Economics: Some further results on the potentialising function
The Annals of Regional Science, 2001Co-Authors: Johan F. Kaashoek, Jean H. P. PaelinckAbstract:This study is a follow-up to some recent publications on potentialised partial differential equations in the context of theoretical Spatial Economics. In this paper potentialised wave and diffusion equations are considered with emphasis on the relation between the resulting process and the potentialising parameter. Empirical relevance in Spatial (regional and urban) Economics is discussed.

Potentialised Partial Differential Equations in Economic Geography and Spatial Economics: Multiple Dimensions and Control
Acta Applicandae Mathematicae, 1998Co-Authors: Johan F. Kaashoek, Jean H. P. PaelinckAbstract:The present study is a follow-up to previous recent publications in the field of theoretical economic geography and Spatial Economics. Earlier results are generalised and simulated in higher dimensions (in terms of variables and topological dimensions), and given possible undesirable outcomes of the process (which can behave chaotically), application of control methods to it is being studied.

Four Studies in Theoretical Spatial Economics
1995Co-Authors: Jean H. P. PaelinckAbstract:In what follows, four research topics in theoretical Spatial Economics are presented, topics which have been worked on recently. They start with two so-called "Tinbergen-Bos Systems" (TBS) analyses. The first is a check on the empirical presence of "Tinbergen hierarchies" in Dutch microregional data; the hypothesis is not rejected. The second develops two theoretical aspects: the computation of non-allowable TBS (supply of some goods and/or services being absent) and the solution via continuous linear programming (CLP) of Tinbergen-Bos metricised systems. This CLP approach can be found back in an essay, the third one, on the maximal flow capturing problem, for which a solution in those terms is presented. Coming back to TBS, it should be mentioned that Spatial interdependence via transportation costs is a central idea in the analysis; this idea is applied again in an optimal control set-up with potentialised partial differential equations (PPDEs), for which a - once more potentialised - framework and an explicit solution are proposed.

On potentialized partial differential equations in theoretical Spatial Economics
Chaos Solitons & Fractals, 1994Co-Authors: Johan F. Kaashoek, Jean H. P. PaelinckAbstract:Abstract For use in theoretical Spatial Economics, classical partial differential equations should be generalized by potentializing the Spatial variables: this has been undertaken for the one-dimensional wave equation. Three potentials (linear, exponential, Tanner) have been investigated; the exponential one especially has led to meaningful analytical solutions in terms of Spatial economic patterns. Problems of stability and ‘strangeness’ of the dynamical solutions are discussed, and lines for further research set out.

"Gis a job": what use geographical information systems in Spatial Economics?
LSE Research Online Documents on Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Henry G. OvermanAbstract:Geographical information systems (GIS) are used for inputting, storing, managing, analyzing and mapping Spatial data. This article argues that each of these functions can help researchers interested in Spatial Economics. In addition, GIS provide access to new data that is both interesting in its own right, but also as a source of exogenous variation.

the evolution of Spatial Economics from thunen to the new economic geography
The Japanese Economic Review, 2010Co-Authors: Masahisa FujitaAbstract:This paper presents a review of the evolution of Spatial Economics over the past two centuries. The focus is on the evolution of what I consider to be the most fundamental theory of Spatial Economics, i.e., general location theory. The paper starts with a review of Thunen (1826), and ends with a review of the New Economic Geography initiated by Paul Krugman in the early 1990s. It is shown that the study of general location theory has been successful at shedding light on many important features of actual Spatial economies.

formation and growth of economic agglomerations and industrial clusters a theoretical framework from the viewpoint of Spatial Economics
2008Co-Authors: Masahisa FujitaAbstract:Drawing on the framework of Spatial Economics, this chapter presents a microeconomic framework for understanding the formation and growth of economic agglomerations and industrial clusters. Spatial Economics, a field created in the early 1990s, represents a new branch of Economics that aims to explain the formation and growth of various forms of economic agglomeration in geographical space, using a general equilibrium framework combined with an evolutionary approach. Spatial Economics is often called “the new economic geography,” and the two terms are often used interchangeably throughout this chapter.1 Although the chapter’s main focus is on the theory used to explain industrial agglomerations and clusters, we also consider the difference between various forms or types of economic agglomerations. Given that most industrial agglomerations in the real world are embedded in a larger agglomeration such as a city or a region, a broader viewpoint is helpful to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the formation and growth of a specific industrial agglomeration or cluster.

the development of regional integration in east asia from the viewpoint of Spatial Economics
Review of Urban & Regional Development Studies, 2007Co-Authors: Masahisa FujitaAbstract:This paper examines the recent evolution of regional integration in East Asia, and discusses the prospects and tasks of further integration. After an overview of the globalization and regional integration trend in EU, NAFTA and East Asia during the past half-century, we introduce the basic framework of Spatial Economics, often called the new economic geography. In terms of globalization and regional integration, it is important to examine the general effects of decreasing transport costs (broadly defined) on Spatial distribution of economic activities. Given this theoretical framework, we examine the changing economic interdependency within East Asia, as well as that between East Asia and the rest of the world over the last three decades. Next, we focus on regional diversity and disparity in East Asia. Finally, we compare the regional integration in EU with that of East Asia, and examine the tasks and prospects of further promotion of East Asian integration. 1. Introduction: Globalization and Regional Integration in the Past Half-Century With the globalization of economic activity bringing about the expansion of markets and deepening of economic interdependency beyond state-borders, a new political challenge arises: how to effectively integrate the interdependent economies into a harmonious unity through the creation of new super-state institutions. This is the theme of globalization and integration that has repeatedly arisen throughout the history of civilization. Focusing on the last half of the 20th century, the world economy, after having successfully restructured itself in the wake of the catastrophic ruin wrought by World War I and World War II, as a consequence of global competition for world markets and resources by means of force and colonization, proceeded to carry out its rapid globalization, this time through peaceful means, primarily international trade and investment. The main engine for this new phase of globalization is the steady reduction of the transport costs (broadly defined) entailed in the international movement of goods and services, people, money and capital, as well as information, technology and knowledge. Such a reduction of transport costs has been realized through the continual improvement in transport technologies and the revolutionary development of information technologies, together with the continuing efforts to lower trade barriers by means of new international measures and the establishment of institutions such as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). This continual reduction in transport costs has been promoting the rapid growth of international

Applying Spatial Economics to National Spatial Planning
Regional Studies, 2009Co-Authors: J. Peter Clinch, Eoin O'neillAbstract:Clinch J. P. and O'Neill E. Applying Spatial Economics to national Spatial planning, Regional Studies. Despite the impressive development of the field of Spatial Economics, some have criticized the lack of policy applications. In addition, the literature has not yet identified the relevance of New Economic Geography, and Spatial Economics generally, for national Spatial planning. This is surprising considering the interest in Spatial planning policy in Europe. By combining old theories of trade and space with New Economic Geography, this paper applies Spatial Economics to national Spatial planning and examines a case study of Ireland. The paper suggests that Spatial Economics provides a useful theoretical framework for the analysis of national Spatial planning policy, but suffers from deficiencies in respect of its consideration of social and environmental aspects of planning and development.
