چکیده
Article history: Received 16 September 2010 Received in revised form 22 December 2010 Accepted 5 January 2011 Available online 12 January 2011 Seaports have historically played a key role in facilitating trade and growth. This paper is the first attempt in the literature to analyse the formation of Chinese seaport cities and the dynamics that drives it. First, we aim to identify theoretically the emergence of urbanized seaports with the help of a formal economic geography model. Second, employing an empirically plausible parameterisation of the model, we calibrate the evolutionary process and spatial distribution of seaports along the Chinese coastline. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.
