Abstract

Theoretical and empirical works do not present clear results concerning the effect of international openness on the geographical concentration of activities in less developed countries. We reassess the main conclusions of the literature to differentiate an "endogeneous" openness linked in a long term perspective to the stages of development and to the evolution of regional production specializations, and an “exogenous” openness linked to specific commercial liberalization policies and to the increase in foreign direct investments received by these countries during their industrialization. The openness effects during the different stages of development are exemplified by two cases in point, notably China and Mexico.
