Neoclassical Growth, Manufacturing Agglomeration, and Terms of Trade
This paper presents an integrated view of economic growth, development traps, and economic geography. We explain why there is income convergence among some countries (neoclassical regime) and income divergence among others (poverty trap regime). Income convergence (divergence) and manufacturing industry di¤usion (agglomeration) are re-enforcing each other in a cumulative process. Moreover, trad...
متن کاملAgglomeration Economies: Microdata Panel Estimates from Canadian Manufacturing
This paper identifies the main sources of urban increasing returns, after Marshall. The geographical distance across which externalities flow is also examined. We bring to bear on these questions plant-level data organized in the form of a panel across the years 1989 and 1999. Plant-level production functions are estimated across the Canadian manufacturing sector as a whole and for five broad i...
متن کاملEvolving Geographical Concentration of European Manufacturing Industries
This paper analyses the geographical concentration of 32 manufacturing sectors over the 1972-1996 period, based on annual employment and export data for 13 European countries. Concentration has increased continuously over the sample period in employment terms, while remaining roughly unchanged in export terms. On average, increases in concentration were stronger prior to the launch of the Singl...
متن کاملThe Geographical Location of Manufacturing Exporters in South Africa
This paper provides empirical evidence on the location of export-oriented manufacturing firms in Africa (South Africa), and on how the patterns of location has changed over the past decade after the country embarked on trade liberalization. It is found that (a) the proximity to a port is an important consideration in most exportoriented manufacturing firms’ location, with more than 70 per cent ...

This paper studies the role of efficiency in a firm’s decision to contract out. Emphasis is on the heterogeneous nature of firms and when firms are only considering outsourcing to domestic suppliers. Firm-level data on Australian manufacturing reveal an ordering of efficiency between firms that contract out and those that do not, in which contractingout firms are on aggregate less efficient. Th...
