| Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyzes the process of regional concentration of financial service production. For indicators of concentration specialization index and financial service production per capita in the region are used. Theoretical base of the study lies on new economic geography. Derived from the theory, it is tested whether the intra-region trade effect measured by geographic area and the share of the potentially immobile labour force in the region affect on the concentration. Also the concentration towards existing centers was tested. It is found that the regions area has negative effect both on the specialization and production. Increase in share of immobile labor affected positively on specialization and negatively on per capita production. |
