Features: Spatial economics incorporates spatial factors into the general equilibrium analysis framework, primarily studying the spatial distribution patterns of economic activities, explaining the causes and formation mechanisms of spatial agglomeration, and exploring the economic development process of a specific region (or country) through the interpretation of these causes and mechanisms. The purpose of this book is to introduce the core ideas and basic models of spatial economics, as well as its applications in economic policy analysis, to domestic readers, particularly to scholars engaged in regional economic growth research. It aims to broaden the research perspectives of domestic scholars and enable them to utilize the tools in the new toolbox to explain new phenomena in regional economic growth.
