Scenarios about 'regional economics'
Regional economics studies how geographical areas function as economic systems, examining factors like resource distribution, industrial clusters, labor markets, and trade patterns within specific territories. It analyzes how regions develop comparative advantages, respond to economic shocks, and interact with neighboring areas through capital flows and migration. In alternate history scenarios, understanding regional economics helps explore how different development paths, resource allocations, or political boundaries might have created divergent economic outcomes across territories.
