| Description |
This paper examines the validity of three alternative rationales for industrial specialization in rural areas. Manufacturing specialization can be explained by 1) the greater efficiency of very large plants; 2) the "localization" advantages identified with a number of firms in the same industry locating near each other; or 3) a strategy to gain bargaining power in isolated rural labor markets by a dominant employer. Eleven logistic regressions are estimated for each of the specializations identified using cluster analysis. At least one of the explanations is supported in each of the specialization regressions, but different explanations characterize the various industries.
