| 研究実績の概要 |
This research aimed to investigate how the geographic concentration of industrial activity affects an economy's prospects for economic development through productivity growth, within a globalized world economy that features increasing levels of economic integration between regions and nations. In particular, we have developed a theoretical model of international trade and productivity growth that allows for a study of how improved economic integration affects market entry, productivity growth and national welfare levels, through adjustments in industry concentration across countries. This framework has been applied to issues such as corporate taxes and innovation offshoring. Ongoing work is examining how regional unemployment affects industry location patterns and productivity growth.
