Study Notes
Limitations of Sector Model
- Only considers railway lines for sector growth, ignoring private cars
- Presents a monocentric view of cities, neglecting multiple business centers
- Physical features may restrict or direct growth along specific wedges
- Does not account for out-of-town development
Inter-industry Models
- Show transactions and interrelationships between producing sectors of an economy
- Often represented in the form of an input-output matrix
Leontief Input-Output Model
- Analyzes inter-industry relationships to understand economic complexities
- Aims to maintain equilibrium between supply and demand
- Based on empirical investigation, focusing on production rather than demand
- Features: concentration on economy in equilibrium, technical problems of production, and empirical investigation
Importance of Economic Models
- Helps in technological forecasting, project planning, and strategic product planning
- Crucial in pursuing economic growth and development
- Enables analysis of real-world economic problems
Hoyt Model
- Suggests that cities develop in sectors rather than simple rings
- Sectors grow along main travel links, such as railway lines or rivers
- Activities within each sector are similar due to the purpose they serve
