LOCATION THEORY: A theoretical framework for studying the location decisions made of firms and households based on transportation cost and spatial differences in the accessibility of inputs and markets for outputs. Location theory, developed with noted contributions from August Losch, Alfred Weber, Johann von Thunen, Walter Christaller, and Walter Isard, explicitly considers the cost of transportation in the production and consumption choices made by firms and households. Location theory has been used to explain urban density, labor migration, and land use.

- Net Exports: Changes in exports can trigger expansions and contractions of the domestic economy.
- Circulating Money: Too much money can trigger and inflationary expansion, too little money can trigger contraction and unemployment.
