On the space curve and industrial location

摘要: This paper presents a formal mathematical model to investigate the properties and shape of space cost curve in Weber-Moses type triangle space. It also examines theoretical impacts implications on optimum location decisions firm. We have shown that crucially depends upon marginal transport costs with respect distances. When rates are constant, may be linear, convex or concave from below distant plane. result is quite different Smith's (17, 19), Richardson's (13) Mai's (9). Furthermore, we an important condition for existence intermediate location. consistent Haddah Schwartzman's empirical study (5).
