New economic geography: a branch of economic analysis that examines how the spatial distribution of economic activities influences trade patterns and firm location decisions. It focuses on understanding why economic activities are unevenly spread across different regions and how geographic factors shape market interactions.
Economic agglomeration: the clustering of firms, workers, and economic activities within specific geographic areas, which results in concentrated economic activity. This concentration can lead to benefits such as reduced transportation costs, shared resources, and increased innovation, influencing regional competitiveness.
Spatial distribution of economic activities: the pattern of where production, services, and markets are located across different geographic areas. It reflects the uneven spread of economic functions, affecting trade flows, costs, and market access.
