Third, integration networks with other transportation also optimize allocation capital these areas well. In Preacher Hayes, Behavior methods, 2008, 40 (3), 879–891 methodology has been applied determine relationship between concentration industries, taking into account mediating effects agglomeration. tends bring regions resulting overall social
