How do US state firearms laws affect firearms manufacturing location? An empirical investigation, 1986-2010

We exploit variations in US state firearms laws to study their relation to the spatial distribution of more than 2700 federally licensed manufacturers of firearms for the civilian and law enforcement markets across the country. Accounting for a variety of economic factors¿such as cost, tax burden an...
