| Abstract: | The paper combines the perspective of an international economist with that of an economic geographer to reflect on how and to what extent the Internet will affect the location of economic activity. Even after the very substantial transportation and communication improvements during the 20th century, most exchanges of physical goods continue to take place within geograhically-limited neighbourhoods. It is argued that the Internet will produce more of the same, that is, certain forces for deagglomeration, but offsetting and possibly stronger tendencies toward agglomeration. There is information e.g. on OECD trade btw. adjacent countries, island nations and others by industry, and access to markets and per capita income 1960 and 1990 by (selected) country. |
