Topic: Economics of location



  
 Economic Geography
In the last few years the "new economic geography" has been a movement toward applying the above concepts from the theory of international trade, in order to analyse the location of production and industry within countries; or more precisely within economic units characterised by high degree of labor mobility.
That is probably the reason why many economists have supported that studies in economic geography offer a basic rethinking of the economics.
Thus, one of the pleasant surprises of applying the methods of new trade theory to location issues is that they appear both to validate and to unify a number of seemingly disparate traditions in economic geography, especially the cumulative process, with circular causation with the market potential functions,with central-place theory.

 What's Wrong with Economics and how can it be Fixed
Conventional economics may attempt to answer questions such as how changing transport and communications technologies alter the optimal location of homes, work and optimal routes for commuters in a neighbourhood (where optimal is considered as providing the best results relative to costs), but does not have the tools to consider all round social welfare.
Generally, in economics, the opportunity cost of any option is the amount of other goods and services which could have been obtained instead of any particular good or service.
A theme that runs through conventional economics is that there is a distinction between private choices and public choices or the private sector and the public sector.

 Maquiladora Market Economics
It is neither sensible, necessary, nor economic to require a man or woman to run the gauntlet of illegal immigration, in order to avail him- or herself of fair employment treatment, that should be as equally available in the foreign location, as it is in the Home Office city.
The means of quick and economical transport allows the "geographical profiteers" to argue their syllogistic case, that it really makes no difference, that it is "non-economic" geographic distance, that disconnects acquisition and selling prices.
Their lever for obtaining this advantage is a glaring, gross and unarguable social disparity, based on a geographic anomaly, rather than economics.
