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. 410 0$aAdvances in Spatial Science, The Regional Science Series,$x1430-9602 606 $aRegional economics 606 $aSpatial economics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aRegional/Spatial Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 615 0$aRegional economics. 615 0$aSpatial economics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 14$aRegional/Spatial Science. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 676 $a330.9 700 $aMedda$b Francesca Romana$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0894169 702 $aCaravelli$b Francesco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aCaschili$b Simone$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWilson$b Alan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255020703321 996 $aCollaborative Approach to Trade$91997363 997 $aUNINA
