Question

Indicate the combination of facts that are true:
(i) European integration has been accompanied by only modest relocation of industry among nations, at least when one lumps all forms of manufacturing together;
(ii) The little movement that there has been tends to lean in the direction of manufacturing activities having become more geographically dispersed across nations, not less;
(iii) Most European nations have become more specialized on a sector-by-sector basis;
(iv) At the subnational level, we see that industry is become less concentrated spatially.

a) All points are true

b) Only points i and iii are true

c) Points i to iii are true

d) Only points ii and iv are true

Answer 1

A. All points are true.

Reason-

European integration saw the high geographical concentration of economic activities at national level. This also happened within nations.

If we take income per capita as a measure of economic activity per capita we find that the income equality within nations has narrowed. It is more useful in terms of employment and income to live near the core of the nation.
