The question of where economic activity will locate in the future is an important issue in present day economics. In all societies each market-orientated firm must make decisions of what to produce, for whom, how and where, in conjunction with the varying levels of economic integration such as discriminatory trade deals, and the growing importance of regionalization of the world economy. The traditional neo-classical model of international trade was updated in the 1980s with new trade theory and subsequently by the geography of production in the 1990s. This has deepened our understanding of...
