This paper pretends, also, to analyze the importance which the natural advantages and local resources are in the manufacturing industry location, in relation with the "spillovers" effects and industrial policies. To this, we estimate the Rybczynski equation matrix for the various manufacturing industries in Portugal, at regional level (NUTS II) and for the period 1986 to 1994 (2)(Martinho, 2011b). date: 2011 type: MPRA Paper type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/33411/1/MPRA_paper_33411.pdf identifier: Martinho, Vítor João Pereira Domingues (2011): The convergence theories and the geographic concentration in the Portuguese manufactured industry. language: en
