Abstract
In order not to cause a delay in transportation time in case of emergency such as traffic congestion, construction of expressway or disaster, manufacturing factory locates in the area where the alternative route to major cities is developed. “Redundancy Effects” in this study means that shortening of transportation time of the alternative route to major cities promotes manufacturing factory location. The purpose of this study is to estimate this effect by using fixed effect model.
As a result of estimation, redundancy effects were observed in some areas. Many of these areas are far from the urban area.
