== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Economic Geography''' β The study of the location, distribution, and spatial organization of economic activities across the world. * '''Silicon Valley''' β The most famous "Economic Cluster" in the world, where thousands of tech companies live together to share ideas. * '''Global Supply Chain''' β The complex network of people, companies, and transport that moves a product from raw material to a customer. * '''GDP (Gross Domestic Product)''' β The total value of all goods and services produced in a place (often shown as a "Map of Light" from space). * '''Core-Periphery Model''' β The idea that the world is divided into a "Core" (rich, industrial countries) and a "Periphery" (poor, resource-providing countries). * '''Comparative Advantage''' β When a place can produce a specific good more efficiently than its neighbors (e.g., Chile has a comparative advantage in copper). * '''Special Economic Zone (SEZ)''' β An area in a country (like Shenzhen in China) that has different, more "Business-friendly" laws to attract foreign investment. * '''Distance Decay''' β The principle that the "Interaction" between two places decreases as the distance between them increases. * '''Outsourcing''' β Moving a company's work (like a call center or factory) to a different country where labor is cheaper. * '''Agglomeration''' β The benefit that companies get by being "Clustered" together in a city. </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
