Abstract

An agglomeration is an organization composed of its segments such as infrastructure and institutions. Sequencing economics discusses the sequential process analysis of building the segments of an agglomeration. The concept of ‘economies of sequence’ can be defined as the selection of any two segments from among the set of segments of an agglomeration and the sequencing of the segments toward the efficient building of an agglomeration. A central place theory in spatial economics gives the initial conditions of sequencing the segments of the tourism industry agglomeration as the economies of sequence. Using Proposition 1 in Henkel et al. (2000) and analyzing the corollary of the proposition additionally, we interpret our results obtained from Granger causality testing. The corollary is that a symmetric equilibrium is more likely to become unstable and break when substitutability between differentiated goods and transport costs becomes sufficiently low. The first priority in the order of the sequencing of segments in a tourism industry agglomeration is thereby given to those of low transport costs and substitutability between differentiated goods. We find that the first priority segment is Universal Studio Japan to lower the degree of substitutability between the differentiated goods and that the second is Kansai International Airport to reduce transport costs. Una aglomeración es una organización compuesta por sus segmentos, como la infraestructura y las instituciones. La economía secuencial aborda el análisis del proceso secuencial de desarrollo de los segmentos de una aglomeración. El concepto de ‘economías de secuencia’ puede definirse como la selección de dos segmentos cualesquiera de entre el conjunto de segmentos de una aglomeración y la secuencia de esos segmentos en el desarrollo eficiente de una aglomeración. La teoría del lugar central en la economía espacial marca las pautas iniciales de la secuenciación de los segmentos de la aglomeración de la industria turística como economías de secuencia. Mediante la utilización de la Proposición 1 de Henkel et al. (2000) y el análisis adicional del corolario de la proposición, se interpretaron los resultados obtenidos mediante la prueba de causalidad de Granger. El corolario dice que es más probable que un equilibrio simétrico se vuelva inestable y se rompa cuando la sustituibilidad entre los bienes diferenciados y los costos de transporte es lo suficientemente baja. Por tanto, la primera prioridad en el orden de la secuencia de los segmentos en una aglomeración de la industria turística se otorga a aquellos con un bajo costo de transporte y sustituibilidad entre bienes diferenciados. Se encontró que el segmento con la primera prioridad es que Universal Studios Japan reduzca el grado de sustituibilidad entre los bienes diferenciados y que el segundo es que el Aeropuerto Internacional de Kansai reduzca los costos de transporte. 集積とは、インフラや機関などで構成される組織体である。Sequencing economics (シーケンシング経済学)では、集積のセグメント構築の順序のプロセスの分析法を議論している。economies of sequenceの概念は、集積の一連のセグメントから任意のセグメントを2つ選択し、効率的な集積の構築に向けてその順序付けすることと定義することができる。空間経済学の中心の理論は、観光産業集積のセグメントをeconomies of sequenceとして順序付けする初期条件を与えるものである。Henkelら(2000)のProposition 1を用いてその推論をさらに解析し、Granger因果関係検定から得られた結果を解釈する。当然の結果として、対称均衡は、差別化された財の代替可能性と輸送コストが十分に低くなると、不安定になり崩壊しやすくなる。すなわち、観光産業集積におけるセグメントの第一の優先順位は、輸送コストと差別化された財の代替可能性が低いセグメントに与えられる。我々は、ユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパンが差別化された財の代替可能性を低下させる第一の優先セグメントであり、関西国際空港が輸送コストを抑制する第二の優先セグメントであることを見出した。
