Abstract
Trade and location theory identifies forces that could lead to locational dispersion (comparative advantage) or
locational concentration (scale economies) in the face of globalizing markets, each with different consequences
for specialization and the adjustment costs associated with integration. However, these forces can play
themselves out in very complex ways if locational change principally affects intermediate production.
Moreover, effects of history may be important, if locational patterns which exist prior to integration reflect either
strong external economies or, as we argue, strong institutionalized capacities to respond to more open markets.
This could especially be the case in the context of Europe, whose territories are generally less specialized than
the States of the USA.
