The Determinants of Industrial Location and Urban Air Quality

本项目探讨了工业区位的决定因素， 在当前和历史条件下。 的问题 解决包括：在什么城市地点做不同的 美国的制造业集中， 随着时间的推移，位置模式是否会持续存在？ 可以 持久性与动态外部性的联系， 反映各种外部性的措施是否影响生产率 措施？ 工业与工业之间的直接联系有多强 位置模式与当地空气质量之间的联系是否减弱 在过去的20年里，随着环境法规的加强，？ 空气质量与工业生产之间的间接联系是什么 考虑到空气质量对工资的影响， 通过不舒适资本化效应的租金， 企业成本？ 对于美国的大都市地区，这项研究结合了来自 1970年第六次人口普查（详细行业 1972年制造业普查，1987年 制造业，以及1970年和1987年的县商业模式 出版物（以填补制造业普查中的漏洞 出于披露原因通过审查创建），以及其他 政府来源（城市和县数据手册，州和地铁 地区数据手册和EPA出版物）。 这些数据用于 估计产业所在地的计量经济模型， 经营规模、生产率、经营性质和范围 外部规模经济。 它们用于估计模型 城市空气质量的决定因素，占 空气质量和工业成分之间的相互作用， 质量、工资、租金、产业构成和工资 还有房租

This project explores the determinants of industrial location i n terms of both current and historical conditions. The questions addressed include: In what urban locations do different manufacturing industries in the USA concentrate and how much persistence in location patterns is there over time? Can persistence be linked to dynamic externalities and how strongly do measures reflecting various externalities affect productivity measures? How strong is the direct link between industrial location patterns and local air quality and has the link weakened in the last twenty years with stronger environmental regulation? What is the indirect link between air quality and industrial location decisions, given the impact of air quality on wages and rents through disamenity capitalization effects, which impact firms' costs? For metropolitan areas in the USA this study combines data from the Sixth Count of the 1970 Population census (detailed industry employment), the 1972 Census of Manufacturing, the 1987 Census of Manufacturing, and the 1970 and 1987 County Business Patterns publication (to fill in holes in the Census of Manufacturing created by censoring for disclosure reasons), and other government sources (City and County data Book, State and Metro Area Data Book, and EPA publications). These data are used to estimate econometric models of where industries locate, their scale of operation, their productivity, and the nature and extent of external economies of scale. They are used to estimate models of the determinants of urban air quality, account for the interactions between air quality and industrial composition, air quality and wages and rents, and industrial composition and wages and rents.
