| Tiivistelmä: | This paper explores how the possibility of remote electronic access to markets, resources and knowledge, enabled by the new information and communication technologies, might change the motivations of firms to locate activities internationally, and in turn affect worldwide dispersion and concentration in an industry. Preliminary results from an exploratory analysis of the spatial distribution of firms in financial services suggest that the introduction of a business-to-business trading network increases the global market participation of firms from peripheral countries, but does not appear to reduce the importance of locational clusters. There is included information on motivations to locate activities internationally (incl. how assumptions do change vs. traditional motivations with remote electronic access ), worldwide dispersion and geographic concentration in financial services 1974-1993, and number of currency trading offices per city (in major clusters, Hong Kong, London, New York, and Tokyo). |
