Resumen: La aceleración de los procesos de globalización y la multiplicación de acuerdos de integración modifican las ventajas microeconómicas de localización, y con ello el mapa económico de los países. Entonces, por la profundidad de los "shocks" espaciales diferenciados, los temas regionales han adquirido renovado protagonismo. Las circunstancias actuales exigen que el espacio sea explícitamente incorporado en el análisis. En ese marco espacial se generan reacciones que se manifiestan, entre otras, en la pretendida conformación de regiones como posibilidad estratégica de respuesta a los desafíos. Sobre estos aspectos se centra el trabajo, ensayando un ejercicio académico de regionalización. ; Abstract: The globalization process has changed the microeconomic advantages of firms' location, and the main characteristics of regional growth; as a result, the economic space of a great number of countries has been altered. These international phenomena have revivified regional economic issues, which had been put aside by the mainstream long time ago. As a consequence, the problems related to regionalization have become crucial in many strategies of political economy. This paper deals with an academic exercise of regionalization.

Extending Martin and Rogers' FCM including non-tradable goods and public employment we analyse the effect on economic activity location that follows to changes on the regional distribution of transfers. An increase in the share of transfers a region receives positively affects the production of manufactures the higher are: transaction costs of goods produced under increasing returns to scale; the share of transfers that goes directly to consumers instead of local governments; the elasticity of substitution between differentiated goods; the share of consumers' expenditure on manufactures via-as-vis on non-traded goods. ; Departamento de Economía
