Abstract

This research seeks to understand the underlying locational resources and dynamics explaining the location and growth of new, environmental technology industries. Beginning with the location patterns of the US wind turbine manufacturing industry, this research uses demand, supply and policy factors to explain how the resources and dynamics of a location help shape its future industrial composition. The findings include the prominent role of demand factors, including wind power resources, existing installed wind power and electricity prices as well as supply factors, but the weakness of the influence of governmental policy. This research can assist companies, investors and policy-makers understand the spatial dynamics of industry emergence in order to better align their strategies and policies.
