      abstract = {This book offers a new understanding of how firms  determine their location and what kinds of regional  economic policies are needed to attract factories to a  country and a region in a highly globalized economic  setting. The theoretical and empirical analyses examine the  influence of the transfer pricing system, corporate tax  rates, and a country's industrial structure on a firm's  decision to locate and the impact of firms' location on  regional economic activities. The theoretical analysis  elucidates the importance of the above-mentioned factors in  the firm's selection of possible location. The empirical  analysis uses as an example the case of a supply chain in  East Asia. The empirical analysis is illustrated with the  regional/spatial development experiences at the country  level and city level of selected countries and cities. The  analysis offers a perspective for understanding the spatial  patterns of a cross-border production system.},
