Covers all main topics of spatial economics, plant location, the theory of nested market areas, including rank-size relations, spatial competition and pricing, land use theory and the emergence of specialization and trade, commuting and traffic distributions according to the gravity and entropy hypotheses, migration, and the layout of transportation networks. A strong focus is on the continuous two dimensional geographical space, with Beckmann's continuous flow model as central piece. Another feature is a focus on structural stability rather than optimality of emergent patterns. All the...

This book focuses on recent advances made in the field of non-linear dynamic modelling in economics. Mathematically, linearity is a very special kind of relation between variables chosen to the purpose of simplification. Even in physics linear modelling of dynamical systems was a first choice for quite some time, due to convenience in analysis, as exemplified by the acceleration law, the harmonic oscillator, the wave equation, and the like. The methods of analysis were simply developed to the ease of dealing with such systems. These methods are found under the heading of infinitesimal...
