Tourism and Industrial Agglomeration
Tourism generates increased income and employment in host countries and regions which substantially improves local economies. On the other hand, the manufacturing sector remains the most important part in regional and national economies. By explicitly embedding a nontraded good sector into a new economic geography model, we were able to investigate the interdependence between the tourism sector...
متن کاملAgricultural Sector and Industrial Agglomeration∗
In many developing countries, agriculture hires at least as many workers as manufacturing industries. We investigate an economic geography model in which agricultural goods are costly to transport and in which manufactures hire labor from the local agricultural sector as unskilled labor. Our conclusions show that the parameters in the agricultural sector are crucial to determine the spatial con...
متن کاملPollution Havens and Industrial Agglomeration
Pollution-intensive industries are generally characterized by imperfect competition, increasing returns to scale and large transportation costs. We investigate two countries, N and S, each with two sectors. Manufacturing generates cross-border pollution which reduces agricultural production. Firms can freely move across country borders, but not workers. First, we show that pollution lowers loca...
متن کاملDrivers of Agglomeration: Geography vs History
This paper focuses on the influence of two classical drivers of population agglomeration: geography and history. Geography is identified by two co-ordinates: coastal position and altitude. The prominence of history is also captured by two characteristics: the initial size of the municipalities, and their status as the administrative centre of the area. In first instance we examine localization ...
متن کاملLocation Fundamentals, Agglomeration Economies, and the Geography of Multinational Firms
Multinationals exhibit distinct agglomeration patterns which have transformed the global landscape of industrial production (Alfaro and Chen, 2014). Using a unique worldwide plant-level dataset that reports detailed location, ownership, and operation information for plants in over 100 countries, we construct a spatially continuous index of pairwise-industry agglomeration and investigate the pat...
