VALUE CREATION AND TRADE IN 21ST CENTURY MANUFACTURING
探讨当代制造业空间重组的原因，重新审视比较优势理论的预测力，指出现代制造业既有黏性也有区位特定优势，需更细致评估开放贸易对分工和生活水平的影响。
ABSTRACT The factors responsible for the spatial reorganization of contemporary manufacturing are presented here and the predictive power of long‐standing notions of comparative advantage revisited. While a growing number of commercial tasks and technologies are in principle mobile internationally, giving rise to the perception of evermore footloose manufacturing firms and greater job insecurity, there is much in the modern organization of manufacturing that is both viscid and involves location‐specific competitive advantages. This calls for a more nuanced assessment of the impact of an open world trading system on the spatial division of labor and on living standards.
