ABSTRACTWhile economists have given considerable attention to the role of competition in economic matters, and rightly so, they have unduly neglected the positive economic roles of cooperation, trust, and reciprocity. The importance of the latter have become particularly evident in the context of the many geographically concentrated networks of enterprises that have formed in countries throughout the industrialized world. The general nature of these dynamic regions are briefly considered. Their origins are then examined in terms Of economic and technical factors, as well as in terms of historical, cultural, and social factors that reduce transaction costs and enhance innovation in relations among enterprises that not only compete, but that also often cooperate in ways suggesting that the regional milieu itself has an entrepreneurial character. Finally, the relevance of these arguments is illustrated by numerous concrete examples.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article examines sum of the provocative statements in Lasuen's (1973) pioneering study on corporate organization and urban system development in light of recent changes in the United States from a traditional American “Fordist” mode of production to more flexible systems. At issue is the linkage of several dimensions: modes of corporate organization, local and national development, and policy. The development implications of specific modes of corporate organization and resultant indications for the potential of policy to effect positive change hinge on the organizational geographies of modes of product

摘要:

ABSTRACTSuburban sprawl is often criticized on the grounds that it results in low density land uses. A model is developed and calibrated in which a planning agency tan influence the sequencing and densities of two phases of suburban development on the urban fringe. In this model an Ogawa‐Fujita accessibility function plays an important role in determining rents per unit of built spare and hence land values at any location. If the planner opts for a continuous rather than discontinuous development pattern, the result is lower densities but higher property values. It is concluded that planning efforts to limit sprawl are more consistent with tax base considerations than with concerns over densit

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper proposes a new optimization model in the form of a combined distribution, modal split, and traffic assignment method. This model extends Fisk's model by introducing an entropy constraint condition with respect to the traffic mode choice. The origin‐destination (O‐D) trip matrices by different traffic modes can be estimated by solving the proposed model for the given link traffic counts and traffic volumes generated from each zone. From the optimal conditions of the proposed model, a demand model is derived. The proposed model is applied to a Nagoya road network to determine feasibility and efficiency. The estimated results show that the proposed model is feasible and that accurate results can be obtained from

摘要:

ABSTRACTLike many developed countries, Japan showed a drastic reduction in net population inflow to the core regions in the 1970s. This paper examines the contribution of a changing supply of highly mobile young adults, as well as employment growth, to this trend. Shift‐share analysis of the change in migration patterns reveals that the main cause was a greatly reduced rate of out‐migration from the peripheral regions by young adu

摘要:

ABSTRACTA methodology is developed to divide an economy into regions, then is applied to the United States. These regions represent a departure from the ones currently used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of the Census, both of which are criticized for being derived in anad hocfashion. The methodology uses a multiregional input‐output model, which is viewed as the simplest type of general equilibrium model containing regional detail. The optimal regions developed using this methodology are ones that minimize aggregation erro
