Clusters of knowledge-intensive industries and manufacturing industries form industrial agglomeration in Step I and activate innovation in Step II. Industry clusters are formed by building segments. "Construction sequencing" in the construction industry refers to the process of determining the...

This paper focuses on an architecture-based theory of agglomeration. An agglomeration is composed of a number of segments such as physical infrastructure facilitation including airports and stations. "Economies of sequence" can be defined as the sequencing of the segments toward the efficient...

In this paper, we seek to establish "sequencing economics" in an architectural theory on agglomerations that are comprised of various segments, such as infrastructure, institutions and human resources. The sequencing of such segments is based on a causal chain, with the notion of "economies of...

A "segment" is a component of the organization of an agglomeration. The organization of agglomeration is formed by the construction of segments. Manufacturing agglomeration segments can be divided into four main categories: human resources including engineers, physical infrastructure,...

The hypothesis of catastrophic expectations is formulated mathematically and the construction of a model that takes into account divergent expectations of agents resulting from differences between them in learning level is discussed. This model is used to estimate the degree of learning in the...

This paper identifies the importance of reducing fixed costs for establishing industrial zones as part of an agglomeration policy. China's economic growth has been driven by the agglomeration of manufacturing firms via industrial zones that attract foreign direct investment. This investment...
