Location pattern of the meat packing industry, 1950-1965

"Objectives of the Study: The objective of this study was to make a case study of locational influences in meat packing in recent years, and thereby both to learn something about the location economics of that industry and to contribute to a more generalized understanding of industrial location forces in the modern setting. The organization of the study was: A. To review literature of spatial economic theory. B. To develop a theoretical framework to analyze the location pattern of an industry. C. To determine the importance of different regions of the country in the production, slaughtering, and consumption of livestock and meat for the time period 1950 through 1965. D. To determine the applicability of the theoretical framework to the static analysis of the livestock and meat industry. E. To analyze the dynamic aspects of the changing location pattern of the livestock and meat industry. F. To predict the size structure of region production, slaughter, and consumption of beef and pork for 1970 and 1975."--Page 8.
