The purpose of this paper is to survey the contributions that have been made by Japanese to the theory and empirical study of regional science in the last nearly one decade since the preceding survey, “The Regianal Science in Japan: A Survey”, was written by one of the authors.
The intention is to elucidate the the oretical structure of each article, especially its original contribution and meaningfulness, in a self-evolutional intrinsic process of the contributions, not to offer a bird's-eye survey.
We have accordingly restricted ourselves to the theoretical literature appeared in Studies in Regional Science of Japan Section, Papers and Proceedings of the Pacific Regional Science Conference of the RSA, Papers of the RSA, Journal of Regional Science, and so on.
