The paper constitutes a survey and reassessment of the literature on location and linkages. The analysis begins with a brief review of published work on the formal character of complexes of economic activity. The issue of agglomeration economies and linkage structure is then discussed and its relation to urbanization phenomena examined. From here, the account moves into a detailed investigation of the role of transport costs in the determination of linkage patterns. An attempt is made to systematize the evidenee from a large number of applied studies on the various effects of the clustering and dispersal of productive activities on linkage structure. Various empirical analyses of the organization of production units and its effect on linkages are reviewed. A composite theory is then proposed on the basis of an account of the common dependence of both location and linkage on broad production system dynamics. The paper concludes with a brief glimpse at the possibilities of extending the theoretical apparatus developed here by integrating it with work that is currently going forward on the form and evolution of local labor markets.

In recent years substantial interest has developed in shortcut methods for estimating final-demand multipliers. This paper proposes a procedure which simplifies the mathematical formulae for such multipliers. It is considered that the procedure developed is most appropriate for investigating interindustry relationships of small regions, and its greatest advantage lies in its value as a resource saving alternative to traditional input-output final-demand multipliers. IntroductionAlthough input-output analysis is becoming increasingly popular as an analytical and planning tool at the regional level, regional economists who use input-output analysis are continually faced with the problem of data acquisition and availability. Indeed, as Smith and Leigh (1977, page 131) also observed in a recent review paper, data availability can be a crucial factor in the selection of a member of the family of regional economic models. In the case of input-output analysis, considerable financial resources are invested in the collection of data to estimate interindustry relationships, and where such resources are very limited the technique is often discarded. For this reason any shortcut method of estimating key input-output model parameters should prove invaluable in saving limited resources and allowing the input-output model to be applied when hitherto it was considered too costly. This point would apply particularly to small regions where the need for information relating to interindustry linkages is not matched by an ability to collect the data necessary for conventional input-output analysis. This paper reviews recent relevant work on the development of shortcut methods for computing final-demand multipliers, and then proposes a new shortcut method which is felt to be particularly applicable to small regions. A familiarity with input-output analysis is assumed throughout.
