Advances in Spatial Science, The Regional Science Series,1430-96023-319-47038-8 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Preface -- Part I: The Challenge and the Science -- Part II: The South Pacific Island Countries (SPICs) -- Part III: Uganda -- Part IV: Conclusions.This book applies regional analysis to the challenges facing global investment agencies seeking to enhance trade in lagging regions. It shows how spatial interaction and agent-based modelling can be used as the basis for developing new plans and policies. An in-depth analysis of trade routes is presented, which can be used to develop policies for increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Landlocked Uganda and the sea-locked South Pacific Islands serve to illustrate the problems of covering sizable distances, accelerating export flows and improving supply chain efficiency. These examples also provide an excellent illustration of the power of regional science, from assembling data bases in difficult situations to developing and applying models of the trade system.Advances in Spatial Science, The Regional Science Series,1430-9602Regional economicsSpatial economicsDevelopment economicsEconomic geographyInternational economicsRegional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Development Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000Economic Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000International Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Regional economics.Spatial economics.Development economics.Economic geography.International economics.Regional/Spatial Science.Development Economics.Economic Geography.International Economics.330.9Medda Francesca Romanaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut894169Caravelli Francescoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCaschili Simoneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWilson Alanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255020703321Collaborative Approach to Trade1997363UNINA
