| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project set out to theoretically investigate how the geographic concentration of industrial activity affects the prospects for economic development through productivity growth driven by firm-level investment in process innovation. The project successfully created a framework for analyzing how improved economic integration affects market entry, productivity growth, and national welfare through adjustments in the location patterns of production and innovation activity.
The framework was used to study two issues. First, we derived new results on how international corporate tax differentials affect industry location patterns with interesting implications for market entry, productivity growth, and national welfare levels. Second, we were able to demonstrate the potential benefits of manufacturing and innovation offshoring on productivity growth. In a new extension, we are now studying the relationships between industry location patterns, unemployment, and productivity growth.
