The Evolutionary Economic Geography of Regional Economic Development in Asia

摘要: The paper will review representations of regional development models in terms their assumptions (peeled away like an onion) and level complexity, very much the tradition Peter Allen's classification system. Some applied economic Asia be presented more detail compared to each other ability understand gain knowledge about real world problem solutions. shows with examples how complex systems kind using geography, can used effectively policy making a specific set geographies. These new approaches capture restructuring across geographies way that they offer choice hitherto unseen unrecognizable.Understanding reality gaining require us reduce complexity any particular situation simpler, understandable system by simplifying assumptions. It is shown there exist that, while being sufficiently simple understood, remain representative yield significant power make big difference when other, less useful representations. For instance, what important explained dynamic socio-economic structural change degree heterogeneity agent populations space, modularity hierarchy system, similar aspects composite existence. Traditional mechanical assume assumption completeness network connections among agents thereby imposing homogeneity on significantly reduces explanatory power.
