A note on smsa and industry as determinants of manufacturing suburbanization
Abstract Traditionally, the intraurban location patterns of industrial firms have been explained with an equilibrium bid-rent model. Recently, location theorists have begun to use models which recognize that cities are seldom in long-run equilibrium, largely because of the fixed nature of the stock of buildings and the costs of moving an industrial firm. Utilizing a regression model with qualitative explanatory variables, it is found that the variation of industrial locations is greater across urban areas than across industries. This finding supports the contention that the disequilibrium nature of urban areas should be recognized in explaining emergent location patterns.
