Abstract

This paper presents the findings of research whose objective was to investigate the extent of geographical var iations in industrial costs in England. The emphasis in the analysis undertaken was to assess whether there were differences in industrial costs between mainly rural and mainly urban areas, but also between broad regional areas with particular reference to a comparison of cos t differences between areas which qualified for regional policy assis tance and those which did not. The main conclusions to emerge are fir stly, unit input costs tend to be higher in large conurbations relati ve to their surrounding hinterlands and, secondly, there is not a sha rp north/south regional divide in competitiveness.
