本文根据新经济地理学的最新进展（如，Fujita等人[12])分析了运输成本对经济集聚空间格局的影响。我们首先从现有的模型中确定原型，并解释运输成本如何影响聚集和分散的经济力量之间的平衡的机制。然后，我们调查的聚集/分散模式的转变，逐渐降低运输成本的不同商品。
In this paper, based on the recent advances in thenew economic geography(e.g., Fujita et al. [12]), we analyze impacts of transport costs on the spatial patterns of economic agglomeration. We first identify prototypes from the existing models, and explain the mechanism of how transport costs influence the balance between economic forces of agglomeration and dispersion. We then investigate the transformation of the agglomeration/dispersion patterns given gradually decreasing transport costs for different goods.
