The empirical study of new economic geography by Toh, Ci En

“…Although Krugman(1999)'s NEG theory in [13] is considered the most fundamental form of NEG, most empirical studies only used parts of his proposed NEG models and little has been done specifically on any of his full model in [13]. This paper aims to specifically use Krugman's full monocentric economy model in [13] to prove that Krugman's NEG theory is scientific and hence, emphasise that NEG theory in general is scientific. …”
