dc.description.abstract | We develop and econometrically estimate a model of the location of industries across
countries. The model combines factor endowments and geographical considerations, and
shows how industry and country characteristics interact to determine the location of
production. We estimate the model on sectoral data for EU countries over the period
1980-97, and find that endowments of skilled and scientific labour are important
determinants of industrial structure, as also are forward and backward linkages to industry. | en |
