Some Freedom of Locational Choice:

This article examines the economic and noneconomic factors that influenced the migration decisions of antebellum Southern households. It appears that nonslaveowners were neither pushed to inferior locations nor did they move independently of the economic consequences. For slaveowners, the observed links between locational choice and the economic characteristics of locations are weaker. The proportion of whites in a location's population was positively associated with the choice of a location for the nonslaveowners. This association was not found for any other group.

In this paper, using a three-sector general equilibrium model with unemployment, we will examine theoretically the issue of where to locate EPZs. This model gives policy makers in developing countries four policy options. An interesting result is as follows: it reveals that attracting foreign firms which are more labor-intensive (capital-intensive) than the rural domestic firms into the rural-based EPZ is the best (worst) policy for developing countries.
