The property requirements of knowledge‐based industries

Summary

An analysis of the property requirements of modern industries such as those in the electronics, pharmaceutical and chemical fields, based on detailed interviewing of over 70 companies, is presented. The factors influencing locational choice are considered, as are the specific features of notional industrial schemes. The key points which emerged from the study include: there is no single type of property suitable for all knowledge‐based companies although generally they can be accommodated in existing premises. Location is the most important factor with relatively little importance attached to the particular building scheme. Locational importance derives largely from the need to be close to a highly skilled labour pool. Close proximity to academic centres is only important to a small number of knowledge‐based companies and is not as significant as has been claimed. Flexibility is important in a variety of ways, in terms of space utilization, expansion capabilities and lease structuring.     

狮子洋断裂精确定位及活动性初步研究

狮子洋断裂位于珠江入海口的东侧,为北西向的隐伏断裂。为了更深入研究狮子洋断裂,通过地面追索(野外地震地质调查)、浅层人工地震横波/纵波反射勘探、排钻对比、第四纪地层年代学方法,对狮子洋断裂进行精确定位,并研究其活动性。得到如下结论：断裂由F1～F4四条正断裂组成,形成狮子洋断裂束,断层总体走向约330°,倾向SW,F4断裂倾向NE,倾角为60°～80°;狮子洋断裂(东支F1、F2、F3)在中更新世晚期以来没有活动,为早-中更新世断层。

基于投入产出表分析的沿海地区服务业主导产业选择基准体系构建研究——以福建省为实证

从区域投入产出表分析出发,探讨沿海地区服务业主导产业选择基准,并计算出相关基准指标系数和基准指标权重,通过将这些评判基准综合组合应用,从而构建沿海地区服务主导产业选择基准体系,并以福建省进行实证研究。研究结果表明：①采用比较优势基准、需求导向基准、产业效益基准和产业关联基准等四个基准来共同构建沿海地区服务业主导产业选择基准体系,可为沿海地区主导产业选择及主导产业发展对策制定提供一定的科学参考。②福建工业化后期阶段服务业主导产业存在以生产性服务业为主生活性服务业为辅发展特征。③福建省应选择交通运输仓储和邮政业、金融业、信息传输计算机服务和软件业、租赁和商务服务业、文化体育和娱乐业、批发和零售业作为现阶段服务业主导产业。④福建省服务业主导产业应根据各自特点采取先行发展、加快发展、创新发展、鼓励发展、培育发展和重点发展等发展对策。     

Assessing the Competitiveness of International Financial Services in Particular Locations: A Survey of Methods and Perspectives

The International Financial Services (IFS) industry is restructuring internally and by location. This paper outlines the economic forces and analytical methods that may be applied to examine the economic drivers of these processes as ever more cities, particularly in East Asia, are vying to attract IFS providers and their clients. The ICT revolution has made those IFS that can be commoditized footloose in search of cost efficiency. High value-added financial services, however, will continue to be developed and coordinated in a few major IFS centers that have invested in, or capitalized on, regional or global advantages for themselves and their clients. The resulting pattern of functional fragmentation and geographic dispersal may facilitate analyses of the competitiveness of different lines of the financial services business in a particular location by methods such as Data Envelopment and Stochastic Frontier Analysis. These forms of comparative efficiency analysis have recently been questioned and their results reinterpreted.

Vertical Specialization and New Determinants of FDI: Evidence from South and East Asia

Abstract

By estimating a dynamic panel-gravity model of bilateral foreign direcr investment (FDI), this article investigates the location determinants of inward FDI in South and East Asia and assesses their short-run and long-run effects. The econometric results highlight the importance of the vertical specialization-, trade-, and international integration-related location factors. The gravity-specific variables are also found to be significant location determinants, whilst some of the traditional determinants are found to have either a weak or statistically insignificant effect (except host-market size) on inward FDI in South and East Asia.
