in film, it sounds like this is driven by government incentives/disincentives, not labor costs (see anecdotes in this thread about LA-based production crews flying around the world for filming)

It's also labor costs. It's far cheaper to get a crew, rent out space, etc in Eastern Europe, the US South, even the midwest, which is what led to films being made there. Government/tax incentives too of course.
