Is it possible to integrate ideas on the spatial equation of labor markets, on trade, and on demand? Examining the problems involved in an overall numerical model, it is argued that current concepts such as demand curves or spatial price equilibria take the system as given and do not allow its derivation. Also, data are not available in the form the models require, incorporating the interactions which need to be studied separately. Simulation models do not suffer from these defects and can employ more realistic formulations. But where they can produce principles of trade-effect interplay, they cannot look at the empirical issue. It is supposed that these can respond better to very aggregate groupings of commodities and services using transfer functions to handle their areal relations.

Use of the classification of productive agents into land, labour and capital is deeply imbedded in the theory of eco- nomic geography but is not necessarily appropriate for it. By adopting it, a considerable proportion of current analytic me- thods and their results are preordained: homogeneneous re- gions, the automatic setting of factor prices, the equating of cost and productivity derivatives, etc. A graphical model attempts to depict heterogeneous and flexible factors in partial competition with each other and in spatial conjunction with alternative opportunities to produce a bargaining relationship by which their prices are set. Technologies and products are set concomitantly. Treatment of the effect of spatial configuration on bargaining power is essayed by invoking indepently randomly distributed agents associated with zones of bargaining dominance. An agent comparing wages with jobs available need not seek the highest wage but may prefer a lower one which allows him to keep his options open. This situation is phrased in terms of rational ran- dom behaviour and provides a relationship between income utili- ty, incentives offered and the information about opportunities available for increasing the efficiency of the spatial economy.

Curry L. (1972) A spatial analysis of gravity flows, Reg. Studies 6, 131–147. Since Wilson gave theoretical substance to the gravity model, it is possible to treat it analytically. His derivation is discussed and calibration problems examined. In particular, the general constraints on the maximum entropy solution he obtains can be particularized. Here the association between the spatial distribution of jobs and homes is investigated using a spatial regression operator which is interpreted as the impulse response function of a second order difference equation. By using Z transforms, the regression and gravity operators are applied in paralle. Feedback from the resulting trip pattern allows the job-home relation to be changed sequentially. Measures of spatial entropy and joint information are introduced and related to travel entropy.
