Abstract
China's cross-regional data are used to test a spatial model in which
some relationships among transportation costs, the number of firms, fixed
capital investment, and institutional arrangements arise endogenously. We
show that the number of firms is positively related to transportation costs,
and inversely related to firm's average fixed capital investment. Market
mechanism generates more firms than planned mechanism does.
