集聚与增长整合研究评述

A Survey of Agglomeration and Growth Models

集聚与增长整合研究是新经济地理学的理论前沿,也是对新增长理论的新拓展。通过在新经济地理框架中引入内生增长,集聚与增长整合模型使得我们能够明确地思考经济活动区位与经济增长速度之间的相互作用问题。整合模型阐释了集聚与增长之间的互动关系和机制,加深了我们对一体化现象和政策的理解,得到了比新经济地理更为丰富的结论。对该领域文献进行了系统梳理和分类,总结了其研究框架与方法,并叙述了理论演进的路径。

Unified study of agglomeration and growth is one of the frontiers of new economic geography as well as a new application of new growth theory. By introducing endogenous growth into the new economic geography framework, agglomeration and growth models allow us to crystallize our thinking about the interplay between the location of economic activity and the growth rate of economic activity. These models explain the interrelationships and mechanism between agglomeration and growth, deepen our understanding of the phenomenon and policy of integration, and reach richer results than new economic geography. By classifying the models, summarizing the framework and methods and describing the evolution path, this article gives a thorough review of the emerging field.
