It introduces the coordination cost to NEG model to analyze the impact of coordination cost on the spatial dispersion of enterprises. By solving the model and numeral simulation it finds that the enterprises’ agglomeration in central place declines when the coordination cost reduce. As long as the coordination cost keeps a constant relates to diversity of worker’s wage and product’s substitution elasticity, the spatial distribution of enterprises will not be affected by trade freedom.
