| Abstract: | The results of an analysis of new manufacturing firm formation rates at a disaggregated spatial level in Wales are presented. New firm formation theory is referred to and several hypotheses in connection with firm formation process are explored. The focus on new manufacturing firms is due to two main reasons: manufacturing firms form part of the 'basic' industrial base in a local labour market area, and in the 1980s manufacturing employment change emerged as the dominant influence on unequal growth in the U.K. |
