Location Fundamentals, Agglomeration Economies, and the Geography of Multinational Firms
Multinationals exhibit distinct agglomeration patterns which have transformed the global landscape of industrial production (Alfaro and Chen, 2014). Using a unique worldwide plant-level dataset that reports detailed location, ownership, and operation information for plants in over 100 countries, we construct a spatially continuous index of pairwise-industry agglomeration and investigate the pat...
متن کاملSpatial organization of firms: internal and external agglomeration economies and location choices through the value chain
We explore the impact of geographically bounded intra-firm spillovers (internal agglomeration economies) and geographically bounded inter-firm spillovers (external agglomeration economies) on firms’ location strategies. Using data from the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Business Database and the U.S. Cluster Mapping Project, we analyze organic expansions of biopharmaceutical firms (by both new es...
متن کاملAgglomeration and networks in spatial economies
We consider the parallel developments in the economics of agglomeration and the economics of networks. We explore the complementarities between the productivity benefits of agglomeration and those of network linkages, arguing that networks of actors dispersed over space may substitute for agglomerations of actors at a single point. JEL classification: D20, L14, R30
متن کاملThe magnitude and causes of agglomeration economies
Firms and workers are much more productive in large and dense urban environments. There is substantial evidence of such agglomeration economies based on three aproaches. First, on a clustering of production beyond what can be explained by chance or comparative advantage. Second, on spatial patterns in wages and rents. Third, on systematic variations in productivity with the urban environment. H...
متن کاملThe Agglomeration-Differentiation Tradeoff in Spatial Location Choice
Retailers often co-locate spatially to draw consumers, even though it increases price competition. The paper develops a structural model of entry and location choice that isolates the agglomeration benefit of co-location, after controlling for pure differentiation rationales for colocation such as (1) high demand and/or low cost at the location; (2) zoning restrictions and (3) format differenti...
