Understanding spatial structure of regional economic development is of importance for regional planning and provincial development strategy. Taking Jiangsu province in the economically richest Yangtze Delta as a case study, this paper aims to explore regional economic development level on a province scale. Using the census 2010, eleven variables are selected for the statistical and spatial anal...

This paper investigates whether a search theoretic model can explain the wage curve, that is, a negative relationship between regional wages and regional unemployment rates, even if the workers are mobile between regions. We show that a simple search model if combined with regional variations in productivity and with a monocentric city structure produces the wage curve.  2000 Elsevier Science ...

According to the definition, this paper extracted the core indicators of regional e-commerce development, and used the principal component analysis to evaluate the development level of regional e-commerce. Finally, this paper analyzes the impact factors of regional e-commerce development from qualitative and quan...

Topology optimization of regional strain energy is studied in this paper. Unlike the conventional mean compliance formulation, this paper considers two main functions of structure: rigidity and compliance. For normal usages, rigidity is chosen as the design objective. For compliant design, a portion of the structure absorbs energy, while another part maintains the structural integrity. Therefor...

This study provides an understanding of the Indian regional economy utilizing the fundamental economic structure (FES) approach. The FES construct implies that selected characteristics of an economy will vary predictably with region size, as measured by net state domestic product, population, and total gross output. The big question addressed in this study is if identifiable patterns of relatio...

The structure is the basic attribute of everything. The structure of logistics network is composed of logistics nodes and logistics routes, however the logistics cost mainly happens on the function the logistics route undertakes. So logistics routing optimization is the key to reduce logistics cost. As logistics is the hygiene factor of regional economic development, this article studied on log...

This paper analyzes the regional variation of minimum wage in China. We first introduce the institutional background of China’s minimum-wage policy and then describe the regional variation of the minimum wages using detailed minimumwage data since the late 1990s. A large regional variation exists in the period studied, and the regional variation has been declining since the late 1990s. Economic...
