Externalities and Local Economic Growth in Manufacturing Industries

Abstract: Abstract The recent revival of interest in issues relating to economic geography has put new vigour into research efforts intending to explain economic phenomena without neglecting space. Such a revival has two main causes as pointed out by Fujita, Krugman and Venables (1999): on the one hand the real-world concerns arising with the ongoing processes of regional integration, especially in Europe; on the other hand, from the theoretical point of view, the availability of the analytical tools necessary to deal with increasing returns bounded in space which characterise agglomeration forces.
