Content: Economic Geography is the most complete, up-to-date textbook available on the important new field of spatial economics. This book fills a gap by providing advanced undergraduate and graduate students with the latest research and methodologies in an accessible and comprehensive way. It is an indispensable reference for researchers in economic geography, regional and urban economics, international trade, and applied econometrics, and can serve as a resource for economists in government. The book presents advances in economic theory that explain why, despite the increasing mobility of commodities, ideas, and people, the diffusion of economic activity is very unequal and remains agglomerated in a limited number of spatial entities. The book complements theoretical analysis with detailed discussions of the empirics of the economics of agglomeration, offering a mix of theoretical and empirical research that gives a unique perspective on spatial disparities. It reveals how location continues to matter for trade and economic development, yet how economic integration is transforming the global economy into an economic space in which activities are performed within large metropolitan areas exchanging goods, skills, and information.

Content: The new Handbook of Regional and Urban Economics: Cities and Geography reviews, synthesizes and extends the key developments in urban and regional economics and their strong connection to other recent developments in modern economics. Of particular interest is the development of the new economic geography and its incorporation along with innovations in industrial organization, endogenous growth, network theory and applied econometrics into urban and regional economics. The chapters cover theoretical developments concerning the forces of agglomeration, the nature of neighborhoods and hum

Content: This chapter discusses the issue of location for production activities. In general, the availability of resources, the location of population as a source of labor and as potential markets, soil, climate, and technical conditions rule out many locations for any specific economic activity. What remains is a set of feasible locations among which an economic choice is to be made. The main problems facing the location theorists can be listed as spatial demand and supply; spatial pricing and output; locational choice; spatial resource (land) use; and spatial equilibrium of production. The chapter discusses the analysis of spatial monopoly. It describes the spatial structure of three different price policies: mill, uniform, and (spatial) discriminatory pricing. The chapter compares these price policies in the context of two firms competing to attract customers, termed as spatial duopoly. The strategic interdependence between these firms may generate serious difficulties regarding the existence of a (noncooperative) price equilibrium.. The chapter also deals with the concept of spatial oligopoly in a homogeneous space. It considers only the mill pricing and compares three solution concepts: Bertrand price equilibrium (competitive oligopoly), Losch price equilibrium (collusive oligopoly), and Cournot quantity equilibrium.

Content: This chapter focuses on the most game-theoretic elements of location theory. Spatial competition is an expanding field lying at the interface of game theory, economics, and regional science. It is still in its infancy but attracts more and more scholars' interest because the competitive location problem emerges as a prototype of many economic situations involving interacting decision-makers. Space can be used as a "abel to deal with various problems encountered in industrial organization. The situations considered in this chapter do not exhaust the list of possible applications in that domain. Such a list would include intertemporal price discrimination and the supply of storage, competition between multiproduct firms, the incentive to innovate for imperfectly informed firms, the techniques of vertical restraints, the role of advertising, and incomplete markets due to spatial trading frictions. The location model is also well suited for analyzing nonprice competition. Firms are assumed to compete on other variables than prices; in particular, products specification appears as a basic decision variable in such a competitive environment. This model may also be useful for dealing with collective decision-making processes, like voting or competition between political parties.

Content: By its very nature, transport is linked to trade. Trade being one of the oldest human activities, the transport of commodities is, therefore, a fundamental ingredient of any society. People get involved in trade because they want to consume goods that are not produced within reach. The Silk Road provides evidence that shipping high-valued goods over long distances has been undertaken because of this very precise reason. But why is it that not all goods are produced everywhere? The reason is that regions are specialized in the production of certain products. The first explanation for specialization that comes to mind is that nature supplies specific environments needed to produce particular goods. According to Diamond (1997), spatial differences in edible plants, with abundant nutrients, and wild animals, capable of being domesticated to help man in his agricultural and transport activities, explain why only a few regions have become independent centers of food production. Though relevant for explaining the emergence of civilization in a few areas, we must go further to understand why, in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, interregional and international trade has grown so rapidly.
