Abstract

Feser E. and Isserman A. The rural role in national value chains, Regional Studies. Industry clustering is a useful concept for understanding the interdependence among industries and its implications for regional economic development and growth. The paper claims that the fullest understanding of the implications of industrial interdependence for rural economies requires viewing linked industries - or value chains - on a spatial continuum, from those that are national in geographic scope to those that are highly localized in specific places as regional clusters. From that perspective, rural economies may depend on - as well as contribute to - the competitive success of value chains anchored elsewhere. The perspective is operationalized using a new classification of 45 US industry value chains together with a new rural-urban county typology. The results demonstrate that rural America plays an integral part in a great variety of US value chains. Federal, state, or local development agencies must be careful not to view rural cluster strategy strictly as the development of groups of linked and related industries concentrated in specific rural places, as there are real opportunities to identify and leverage the advantages of rural locations for businesses and industries in globally competitive and geographically extensive value chains.

La notion de regroupement industriel sert a expliquer l'interdependance des industries et ses retombees pour le developpement economique regional et la croissance. On affirme que la comprehension la plus complete des retombees de l'interdependance industrielle pour les economies rurales necessite que l'on considere les industries regroupees - ou bien les chaines de valeur - comme un continuum espace, a partir de celles dont la portee geographique s'avere nationale, jusqu'a celles qui sont tres localisees en grappes regionales quant a leur emplacement. De ce point de vue, il se peut que les economies regionales dependent de - ainsi que contribuent a - la reussite competitive des chaines de valeur ancrees ailleurs. A partir d'un nouveau classement de 45 chaines de valeur industrielles aux E-U, conjointement avec une nouvelle typologie ruralo-urbaine des comtes, on met en vigueur ce point de vue. Les resultats laissent voir que l'Amerique rurale joue un role integrant dans diverses chaines de valeur aux E-U. Les agences de developpement federales, etatiques ou locales, doivent faire en sorte qu'elles ne considerent la strategie en faveur des regroupements ruraux qu'en termes du developpement de grappes d'industries reliees et connexes qui se concentrent dans des emplacements ruraux specifiques, parce qu'il y a de belles occasions d'identifier et d'exercer une influence sur les atouts des emplacements ruraux pour les commerces et les industries situes dans des chaines de valeur a la fois competitives sur le plan global et de grande envergure geographiquement. Chaines de valeur Regroupements industriels Politique d'amenagement rural Feser E. und Isserman A. Die Rolle landlicher Gebiete fur nationale Wertschopfungsketten, Regional Studies. Branchencluster sind ein nutzliches Konzept zum Verstandnis der Wechselwirkungen zwischen Branchen und ihrer Auswirkungen auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und das Wirtschaftswachstum einer Region. Wir behaupten, dass fur ein umfassendes Verstandnis der Auswirkungen von Wechselwirkungen zwischen Branchen in landlichen Okonomien eine Betrachtung von miteinander verknupften Branchen - bzw. Wertschopfungsketten - in einem raumlichen Kontinuum erforderlich ist: von den Branchen, die von ihrem geografischen Umfang her national ausfallen, bis hin zu den Branchen, die an bestimmten Orten als regionale Cluster hochgradig lokalisiert sind. Ausgehend von dieser Perspektive konnen landliche Wirtschaften vom Wettbewerbserfolg anderswo angesiedelter Wertschopfungsketten abhangen und auch zu diesem Erfolg beitragen. Wir ubertragen diese Perspektive auf die betriebliche Praxis, wofur wir eine neue Klassifizierung von 45 Branchenwertschopfungsketten in den USA sowie eine neue landlich-urbane Bezirkstypologie zur Anwendung bringen. Unsere Ergebnisse beweisen, dass landliche Gebiete in den USA eine zentrale Rolle fur ein breites Spektrum von Wertschopfungsketten spielen. Die Behorden auf Bundes-, Landes- oder Gemeindeebene sollten es vermeiden, landliche Cluster-Strategien ausschliesslich als die Entwicklung von an bestimmten landlichen Orten konzentrierten Gruppen miteinander verknupfter und zusammenhangender Branchen aufzufassen, da sich eine echte Chance zur Identifizierung und Nutzung der Vorteile von landlichen Standorten fur Betriebe und Branchen in global wettbewerbsfahigen und geografisch umfangreichen Wertschopfungsketten bietet. Wertschopfungsketten Branchencluster Landliche Entwicklungspolitik Feser E. y Isserman A. El papel rural en las cadenas de valores nacionales, Regional Studies. La aglomeracion industrial es un concepto util para entender la interdependencia entre las industrias y sus implicaciones para el desarrollo y el crecimiento economico regional. Aducimos que para poder entender totalmente las implicaciones de la interdependencia industrial para las economias rurales es necesario ver las industrias vinculadas - o cadenas de valores - en una secuencia espacial, de aquellas que son nacionales en un alcance geografico a las que son altamente localizadas en lugares concretos como aglomeraciones regionales. Desde esta perspectiva, las economias rurales podrian depender del - y tambien contribuir al - exito competitivo de las cadenas de valores ancladas en otra parte. Tenemos en cuenta esta perspectiva usando una nueva clasificacion para 45 cadenas de valores de la industria estadounidense junto con una nueva tipologia rural-urbana de condados. Nuestros resultados demuestran que las zonas rurales de Estados Unidos desempenan una parte integral en toda una serie de cadenas de valores en el pais. Las agencias de desarrollo federales, estatales o locales deben tener cuidado de no considerar la estrategia de aglomeracion rural estrictamente como el desarrollo de grupos de industrias vinculadas y relacionadas que se concentran en lugares rurales especificos porque existen oportunidades reales de identificar y aprovechar las ventajas de zonas rurales para negocios e industrias en cadenas de valores globalmente competitivas y geograficamente amplias.
