This collection of essays offers valuable insights and methodologies that are particularly relevant to readers today as they contemplate the future of the world they inhabit. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the fragility of the current economic system, underscoring the urgent need for its reconstruction. For decades, the analytical framework of economics and regional science has served as the default, but now it is time to explore new avenues. The contents of this book are diverse, reflecting the remarkable achievements of Prof. Yasuhiro Sakai, the dedicatee of this volume. Spanning a wide range of topics, from mathematical and experimental economics to conventional and emerging fields of regional science, this book showcases the breadth of Prof. Sakai's expertise.

Part I delves into various areas, including risk management in the face of uncertain events, the effectiveness and consequences of regulation and friction in trading, the stability of strategic behavior and market equilibrium, and sustainable regional development and urban planning from a long-term perspective. Part II presents a diverse range of subjects, such as input-output analysis and computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling for internal and external structure and network linkage, including value chains; openness and creativity in fostering competition among cities and regions; dispersion versus concentration; and inequality versus equality.

These essays provide a comprehensive examination of the challenges and opportunities facing the world today. They offer valuable insights into the complex dynamics of economic systems, regional development, and social dynamics. By exploring these topics, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping our world and develop strategies to navigate the future with resilience and wisdom.
