This paper examines how geography matters for the location of industries in East Asia, employing regression analyses on a novel and comprehensive regional GDP dataset. This study examines how geography affects industrial location patterns, particularly the role of infrastructure, such as ports...

Industrial agglomeration is an inevitable path for the energy storage industry to develop on a large scale. Based on the database of listed companies in China's A-share market, the data of upstream and downstream enterprises in the energy storage industry chain from 2015 to 2020 are collected...

Im Jahr 1997 nahm die Lenzing Fibers GmbH ihren Betrieb in Heiligenkreuz im Lafnitztal im Südburgenland auf. Ziel dieser Studie ist die Untersuchung der industrie- und regionalökonomischen Aspekte, aber auch der unternehmerischen Intentionen, die hinter der Standortwahl und der dafür...

In dieser Studie wird auf Basis umfangreicher Sekundärdaten die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Produktionsstandortes Oberösterreich im Vergleich zu anderen hochentwickelten, sachgüterorientierten Regionen Europas untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Oberösterreich bei zentralen Indikatoren wie...

Electrolysers are defined by the EU as devices that use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process is a key component in the production of renewable hydrogen, which the EU emphasises should be produced from renewable energy sources to ensure at least 70% greenhouse gas...

The mobility ecosystem comprises the entire value chain of the automotive, waterborne, rail and bike industries. It is a key industrial ecosystem crucial to economic growth and jobs in Europe and is characterised by a high level of innovation and collaboration across sectors. The mobility...

This study is the first to examine the relationship between PM2.5 concentration and per capita income at the municipality level for Italy. The novelty of this work is also to explore the role of agglomerations and morphological factors in influencing the incomepollution correlation in the year...

Industrial growth plays a vital role in driving regional progress, as inequalities primarily stem from diverse industries. This becomes particularly significant in the Global South, where wealth creation is a challenge, poverty is persistent and disparities are widening. India serves as a...

How does export liberalization affect firm location choice and the spatial concentration of economic activity? We address these questions using the geo-coordinates of Chinese manufacturing firms and find that export widens inter-city and intra-city spatial disparities by reinforcing initially...

The study conceptualizes the ecosystem of an industrial cluster based on circular economy as an umbrella for co-evolving concepts, such as circular economy, cluster economy and industrial ecology (also comprising the concepts of industrial symbiosis and its subcategory, industrial mutualism). We...

We analyze the location of final goods producers under spatial competition with strategic input price determination by firm-specific input suppliers when the final goods producers undertake complete outsourcing or bi-sourcing. Under complete outsourcing, the final goods producers locate closer...

The effect of regulation on a dominant firm to protect fringe firms in a local market -- Corporate taxation and regional economic development in Japan: A panel analysis of prefectural-level data -- Economies of scale and culmulative causation -- Firms' human resource management for local economy...

I document novel stylized facts on learning and its relationship with population density, using Japanese survey data that provide distinctively rich first-hand information about the frequency, purpose, subject, and method of off-the-job learning. First, people learn more frequently in denser...

Industrial agglomeration not only brings economic prosperity, but also raises concerns about its environmental impact. How to balance industrial agglomeration and inclusive economic growth is a major challenge for today's social development. On the foundation of the balanced panel data of 164...

Does regional economic integration affect the location of economic activity inside countries? In this paper, I discuss recent academic literature on whether the movement towards free trade in North America has influenced the spatial organization of production in Canada, Mexico, or the United...

Reductions in freight transportation costs have favoured agglomeration and radically decreased the requirement for production activities to take place adjacent to natural resources. As the world transitions towards a low carbon economy, with energy generated from renewable sources, this could...

Die Position der EU als globale wirtschaftliche Großmacht ist zunehmend gefährdet. Dies ist zum einen Folge der Krisen, denen sich vor allem die EU in den letzten zwei Dekaden gegenübersah. Insbesondere zu nennen sind die weltweite Finanzkrise (2007-2009), die Eurokrise (2010-2012), die...

This paper examines unintended effects of air quality regulation on decisions of major polluters, using plant data for 1963 to 1992. A key regulatory tool since 1978 is the annual designation of county air quality attainment status, where non-attainment status triggers specific equipment...

Theoretical and applied work in industrial-organization approaches to international trade typically assume either that there are fixed numbers of firms, or that there is free entry and exit with a continuum of firms. This paper makes a first step toward a more realistic approach in which firms...
