On Location of Industries Among Trading Countries: Scale Economies as Possible Offset to Comparative Disadvantage

William Baumol

Chapter 10 in Does Economic Space Matter?, 1993, pp 187-206 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is, of course, an honour and, even more, a personal pleasure to be among those invited to participate in this Festschrift volume for Mel Greenhut. Many years of pleasant encounters, both direct and through the mail, as well as admiration for his contributions, made this invitation an opportunity not to be missed. Yet, having done no work in location theory, the main arena of Professor Greenhut’s research interest, I am forced by lack of competence to turn instead to a subject that can be interpreted only with some degree of generosity to overlap or at least to border this area.
