摘要

The relationship between market-size and the location of economic activities is well established in the literature, both theoretically and empirically. In principle, this has been the major theme of the models of the new economic geography (NEG), starting with the seminal work of Krugman (1991a, b). Such models are based on increasing returns, which are necessary in order to explain geographical concentration (Johansson and Karlsson 2001). In the presence of increasing returns, market-size can be regarded as a measure of the 'competitiveness' of a region as regards its ability to attract firms and industries. Clearly, any firm with internal scale economies seeks closeness to large markets. However, the role of market-size is not constrained to be the supply of potential customers in a proximate geographical area, though this ought to be the major factor for service industries such as retail and wholesale, (c.f. Klaesson and Pettersson 2001). It should be noted, though, that the ideas behind the NEG-approach have a long history. Weber (1929), for example, maintained that regional location factors, i.e. those involved in the minimization of transport costs when choosing location, can create concentrations if similar firms find their individual optimal location to be in proximity to each other. Clearly, market-size is an excellent example of such a regional factor relevant for most types of firms. Furthermore, in his famous book on Location theory and the Shoe and Leather Industries, Hoover (1937) elaborated and popularised Ohlin's (1933) concepts of localization and urbanization economies. Hoover's definitions are used to this present day.
