Progress in technology and moves towards a liberal economic policy have caused a number of economic activities to become highly mobile. This raises important questions regarding the future location of economic activity: where will firms locate or relocate and how will firms and industries fit into space that is influenced by economic integration? Through his selection of key previously published articles, Professor Jovanovi aims to provide a survey of the theoretical foundations of spatial location of firms and industries, and to explore the impact of economic integration on this process. "Economic Integration and Spatial Location of Firms and Industries" will be essential reading for scholars, theorists, policymakers and business executives, who face these new challenges to the economy now and in the future.
