本文分析了一个包含不同运输成本的多个行业的两地区模型。得出两个结果。第一，运输成本低时会出现分散，但具体的分散模式取决于城市成本的水平。这是市场准入对消费者的影响、市场准入对企业的影响、竞争效应和城市成本效应相互作用的结果。第二，运输成本的降低往往会使运输成本较低的产业分散，尽管位于较大区域的产业所占份额并不按照其运输成本的顺序排列。我们进一步提供了一些经验数据有关的第二个结果。
This paper analyzes a two-region model including multiple industries with different transport costs. Two results are derived. First, dispersion occurs for small transport costs, but the specific dispersion patterns depend on the level of urban costs. This results from an interaction of the market-access effect on consumers, the market-access effect on firms, the competition effect, and the urban-cost effect. Second, decreasing transport cost tends to let industries with lower transport costs disperse, although the shares of industries locating in the larger region are not in order of their transport costs. We further provide some empirical data concerning the second result.
