Spatial aspects of capacity change by U.S. integrated steel producers

Article Abstract:

The spatial movement of the US steel industry from 1974 to 1991 was examined and found to be more dependent on economic factors than on geographic factors. The relative concentration of steel mills processing raw ores were found to be affected by the demand for steel products and competition from minimills, as well as outside factors such as imports. The location of the raw ore and the price of raw ore figured only minimally in siting such plants.

Spatial autocorrelation in British unemployment

Article Abstract:

A spatial econometric model is used to examine the relationship between one-time local demand shocks and the unemployment rate in the UK. The model is employed in the analysis of unemployment data from the Census of Employment for 1987, 1989 and 1991. Results indicate that local demand shocks leave significant short-term impressions on local unemployment.
