Because space is not homogenous, economic activities occur in
different locations. Understanding the reasons behind this and
understanding exactly how industries are spatially organized is the
central theme of this book. Industrial Location Economics discusses
different aspects of industrial location behaviour from a variety
of theoretical and empirical perspectives. Each of the analytical
traditions provides insights into the nature of industrial location
behaviour and the factors which can influence it. The authors,
internationally renowned scholars from around the world, detail the
issues and characteristics surrounding spatial economic behaviour.
Classical approaches to location analysis are compared and
contrasted with more recent approaches in order to highlight common
analytical themes and the strengths and limitations of each
approach. The arguments are extended to cover questions of
industrial clustering and the growth and development of cities.
Finally the organization, technology and location
inter-relationships associated with multinational firms are
discussed, in order to provide insights into the relationship
between investment patterns and geography. The theoretical
approaches are discussed empirically using a range of case studies
drawn from many different industries throughout the world. The
general theme which runs throughout the book is that successful
industrial location analysis depends on both the nature of the
location questions to be addressed and on the appropriate choice of
analytical methodology. A uniquely broad range of different
analytical approaches are integrated in this book, ensuring it will
be accessible and highly valuable to academics interested in
economics, management and geography, as well as students and
scholars of economic geography, urban and regional economics, and
regional planning.
