A Reconsideration of the NAS Rule from an Industrial Agglomeration Perspective (2009)
Brookings-Wharton Papers on Urban Affairs - 2009
Hideo Konishi, Michael Manove, Tomoya Mori, Régis Renault, Bob Rosenthal, Kamal Saggi, ...
Geographical concentration of stores that sell similar commodities is pervasive. To analyze this phenomenon, this paper provides a simple two dimensional spatial competition model with consumer taste...
Frontiers of the New Economic Geography (2005)
Fujita, Masahisa, Mori, Tomoya
This paper presents an overview of recent development in the new economic geography (NEG), and discusses possible directions of its future development. Since there already exist several surveys on...
Transport Development and the Evolution of Economic Geography (2005)
Fujita, Masahisa, Mori, Tomoya
In this paper, based on the recent advances in the new economic geography (e.g., Fujita, Krugman and Venables [12]), we analyze impacts of transport costs on the spatial patterns of economic...
Tomoya Mori, Koji Nishikimi, Tony E. Smith
The spatial distribution of industries and population is quite lumpy, and this lumpiness varies across industries. Nevertheless, we show using Japanese data for metropolitan areas that the locations...
A Divergence Statistic for Industrial Localization
Tomoya Mori, Koji Nishikimi, Tony E. Smith
In this paper, we propose a statistical index of industrial localization based on Kullback-Leibler divergence. This index is particularly well suited to cases where industrial data is only available...

Monocentric Versus Polycentric Models in Urban Economics
This article overviews the development of the formal modelling framework for the urban spatial structure which started in 1960s and grew dramatically thereafter. Modelling in the 1970s focused on the...

Economies of Transport Density and Industrial Agglomeration
This paper develops a model of a spatial economy in which interregional trade patterns and the structure of the transport network are determined endogenously as a result of the interaction between...

THE NUMBER-AVERAGE SIZE RULE: A NEW EMPIRICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL LOCATION AND CITY SIZE
Tomoya Mori, Koji Nishikimi, Tony E. Smith
The spatial intensities of both industries and population are highly uneven across space. Moreover, these intensities differ not only across industries, but also change through time. Nevertheless, we...

Spatial distribution of economic activities in Japan and China
Fujita, Masahisa, Mori, Tomoya, Henderson, J. Vernon, Kanemoto, Yoshitsugu, J. V. Henderson, J. F. Thisse
In this chapter we look at the spatial distribution of economic activities in China and Japan. Japan has excellent data and relatively uniform institutions since World War II, which allow us to track...

We propose a statistical index of industrial localization based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence. This index is particularly well suited to cases where industrial data are available only at the...
Transport development and the evolution of economic geography
In this paper, based on the recent advances in the new economic geography (e.g., Fujita et al. [12]), we analyze impacts of transport costs on the spatial patterns of economic agglomeration. We...
This paper aims to demonstrate that the basic framework of the "new geographical economics" is well suited to explain various phenomena associated with the dynamics of frontier economies, such as the...
A Reconsideration of the NAS Rule from an Industrial Agglomeration Perspective
An empirical regularity designated as the Number-Average Size (NAS) Rule was first identified for the case of Japan by Mori, Nishikimi and Smith [71], and has since been extended to the US by Hsu...

A Probabilistic Modeling Approach to the Detection of Industrial Agglomerations
Dating from the seminal work of Ellison and Glaeser [17] in 1997, a wealth of evidence for the ubiquity of industrial agglomerations has been published. However, most of these results are based on...
