对地域文化与核心—外围模型参数结合的探索

不少学者探究文化研究与经济学、经济地理学研究的关系,但是关于地域文化如何影响空间集聚的讨论还不够深入。本文选择克鲁格曼的核心—外围模型（CP模型）,采用经济学常规的模型逻辑演绎方法,辅助文献论据,探讨地域文化如何与该模型结合,从而参与解释产业集聚的过程。主要结论为：① 地域文化不但可以影响CP模型中的τ,也可以影响μ和ρ。文化地理学者只有开展区域文化的比较研究,才能将地域文化转变为CP模型中的参数,从而理解文化对区域经济差异的影响。② 根据CP模型的(i, j)地点,提出了适用于CP模型的地域文化单元。在无法将地域文化定量为绝对值的情况下,可以考虑以相对值来定量化,从而支撑聚集趋势分析,但不能支撑集聚准确强度的分析。③ 地域文化研究与CP模型的关联无法揭示区域不均衡发展关系的本质,亦不能唤起人们对文化霸权、拜物教、异化的警觉。因此文化地理学在与经济地理学结合的同时,还有自己独立的学术目标。

Exploration on the combination of regional culture and core-periphery model's parameters

Many scholars have explored the relationship between cultural studies and economics or economic geography, but there is still a lack of in-depth discussion on how regional culture affects spatial agglomeration. To further explain the process of economic agglomeration, this article chooses Krugman's core-periphery model, uses model logic deduction, assists in documentary evidence, to discuss how regional culture can be combined with this model's parameters. This article obtains two conclusions: First, regional culture can affect not only τ in the CP model, but also ρ and μ. Only when cultural geographers carry out comparative research on regional culture, can they transform regional culture into parameters in the CP model for a better understanding of the impact of regional culture on regional economy. Second, according to the definition of place i and j in the CP model, we define the unit of regional culture which will be suitable for the analysis by CP model. In the case that the regional culture cannot be quantified as an absolute value, relative values can be considered to quantify, so as to support the analysis of agglomeration trend, but cannot support to tell an accurate strength of agglomeration. Third, the relationship between regional cultural research and the CP model cannot reveal the nature of uneven development. This combination cannot arouse people's vigilance against cultural hegemony, fetishism, and alienation. Therefore, cultural geography has its own independent academic goals while it is integrating with economic geography.
