The general problem of optimal allocation of production factors in time and space is introduced in order to derive the most satisfactory migration strategy. In describing the regional economy by means of a generalized Cobb–Douglas production function, the general problem is decomposed into two levels. At the first level, optimal allocation of factors in time is solved in an explicit form using the generalized Hoelder inequality. At the second level, a spatial strategy is derived and the principle of spatial allocation of production factors is formulated. By use of the optimal strategies, the simple two-sector model (that is, agriculture and the rest of the economy) is investigated, and the labor surpluses in Polish agriculture and in an agricultural region in Poland are calculated. date: 1978-05 date_type: published publisher: SAGE id_number: 10.1068/a100577 creators_browse_id: 2084 full_text_status: none publication: Environment and Planning A volume: 10 number: 5 pagerange: 577-591 refereed: TRUE issn: 0308-518X coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Kulikowski, R.
