Descripción:
Transport infrastructure influences the location of manufacturing firms in that sense, this paper compares the influence of accessibility to ports for export and the location of manu- facturing firms in two municipalities in the northern Mexico border. The tools used include the management of a geographic information system and micro-level data of the industrial parks of each municipality. Statistical analysis was based on the application of Poisson mod- els to estimate the sets placement options. The results show that accessibility and market size have greater significance in the location of firms in both cities.
