The Interregional Effects of Canadian Tariffs and Transportation Policy (Paperback)

In a geographically dispersed country such as Canada, in which regions are distinguished resource bases, transport policies are a critical factor in economic development.

He applies this basic theoretical approach to a number of different problems; taxation, capital flows between regions, short-run factor immobility, and increasing returns to scale.

He concludes that with an assessment of policy implications for Ontario arising from his study.
