本文研究了国际贸易自由化和区域一体化对中国等国家内部经济活动分布的影响。我们扩展了克鲁格曼最初的新经济地理模型，以考虑两个国家，三个地区的情况下，母国是完全不对称的规模和进入全球市场。我们的模拟结果表明，母国的空间经济的变化，在一个更复杂的方式比克鲁格曼的结果。当国际贸易自由化继续，但国内地区仍然很难整合，门区经历了从部分到完全集聚的变化。当母国对国际贸易关闭时，国内运输成本的降低使腹地对制造业更具吸引力。然而，当它向全球市场开放时，更多的制造业在门区进行。
This paper investigates the impact of international trade liberalization and regional integration on the distribution of economic activities within countries such as China. We extend Krugman's original New Economic Geography model to account for a two-country, three-region case where the home country is fully asymmetrical in terms of its size and access to global markets. Our simulation results show that the spatial economy of the home country changes in a more complex way than is shown in Krugman's results. When international trade liberalization continues but domestic regions remain poorly integrated, the gate region experiences a change from partial to full agglomeration. When the home country is closed to international trade, the decrease in domestic transport costs makes the hinterland more attractive for manufacturing. However, when it is open to global markets, more manufacturing is undertaken in the gate region.
