Locational Strategy of Special Economic Zones in India
The establishment of special economic zones (SEZs) in Indian districts is intended to bring rapid economic growth to India. However, the data on SEZs show that SEZs are concentrated in only a few Indian districts and thus aggravate the problem of regional inequality. In this paper, the strategy of concentration of SEZs is analysed with a backdrop of the new economic geography theory. The data of the variables are extracted from Census 2011 and other sources for all 640 districts. The Tobit model is used to determine the locational factors behind the establishment of the SEZs in a district of India. The results show that the variables such as urbanization, distance from megacity, districts with a seaport and districts with airports have a significant impact on the number of SEZ approvals as well as SEZ notifications. The concentration of SEZs is mainly due to favourable market and infrastructural conditions. JEL codes: O10, C24, D63

期刊介绍：
Studies in Microeconomics seeks high quality theoretical as well as applied (or empirical) research in all areas of microeconomics (broadly defined to include other avenues of decision science such as psychology, political science and organizational behavior). In particular, we encourage submissions in new areas of Microeconomics such as in the fields of Experimental economics and Behavioral Economics. All manuscripts will be subjected to a peer-review process. The intended audience of the journal are professional economists and young researchers with an interest and expertise in microeconomics and above. In addition to full-length articles MIC is interested in publishing and promoting shorter refereed articles (letters and notes) that are pertinent to the specialist in the field of Microeconomics (broadly defined). MIC will periodically publish special issues with themes of particular interest, including articles solicited from leading scholars as well as authoritative survey articles and meta-analysis on the themed topic. We will also publish book reviews related to microeconomics, and MIC encourages publishing articles from policy practitioners dealing with microeconomic issues that have policy relevance under the section Policy Analysis and Debate.
