Location and productivity of industries
Balakissa Kone
In an open economy with factor mobility, increased investment in transport infrastructure increases the attractiveness of peripheral regions, (Krugman et al., 1996). As for the company, in the presence of increasing returns to scale, the availability of good quality transport infrastructure improves productivity by increasing the reach of external economies, (Venables, 2007). Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote d'Ivoire, and its surrounding area produce 90% of the value added in the country's manufacturing sector. This situation generates costs that adversely affect the productivity of these industries. Convinced that increased investment in transport infrastructure has a significant and positive effect on improving productivity, the aim of this book is to establish the relationship between transport infrastructure and industrial productivity in Cote d'Ivoire.
