Pair each industrial location determinant or localization outcome on the left with the most appropriate economic rationale or industrial example on the right.
- Weight-gaining production processLocating processing units near urban consumer hubs because finished goods are bulkier or more perishable than inputs.
- Agglomeration economiesExternal advantages gained by firms, such as a specialized labor pool, joint subsidiary services, and shared infrastructure.
- Government industrial policyStrategic use of pioneer status, tax holidays, and industrial layout creation to promote balanced regional development.
- Diseconomies of localizationExternal cost increases such as soaring land rents, acute traffic gridlock, and environmental pollution from over-concentration.
Cevap
Weight-gaining production process matches with locating near urban consumer hubs; Agglomeration economies matches with external advantages gained by firms; Government industrial policy matches with strategic use of pioneer status and industrial layouts; Diseconomies of localization matches with external cost increases from over-concentration.
Each pair correctly aligns a specific concept in industrial location or localization theory with its defining economic characteristic or practical intervention. Market-oriented weight-gaining processes align with market proximity; agglomeration economies represent shared positive spillovers; government policies use fiscal tools for regional balance; and localization diseconomies capture the negative spillovers of industrial overcrowding.
