The main results show that despite the strong linkages with manufacturing, service firms do not necessarily pursue locations close to places that concentrate industrial employment, and they actually avoid to locate in neighboring areas of those who concentrate manufacturing activities.
The purpose of this paper is first to provide the micro-foundation for a new empirical framework that evaluates the properties of innovation linkages among manufacturing sectors under a multi-sector general equilibrium framework.
Most of the petrochemical industry's physical capital is imported, and the industry does not have strong backward linkages to manufacturing industries.
