Urban Transport Expansions, Employment Decentralization, and the Spatial Scope of Agglomeration Economies
This paper investigates the relationships between urban highway construction and the decentralization of jobs and workers’ residential locations by industry between 1960 and 2000. Estimates indicate that highways cause significantly greater amounts of residential than job decentralization both overall and in each broad industry category. Identification of these treatment effects relies on exoge...

Geographically concentrated industry activity creates pools of skilled labor and specialized suppliers, and increases opportunities for knowledge spillovers. The strategic value of these agglomeration economies may vary by firm, depending upon the relative value of each economy, and upon firm and agglomeration economy traits. To better determine when a firm will be attracted to agglomeration ec...
متن کاملRegional Industrial Structure and Agglomeration Economies: An Analysis of Productivity in Three Manufacturing Industries
We investigate whether a more concentrated regional industrial structure—the dominance of a few large firms in a given industry in a region—limits agglomeration economies and ultimately diminishes the economic performance of firms in that industry, especially small ones. In an application to three industries using establishment-level production functions and a combination of confidential and pu...
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.

متن کاملTourism and Industrial Agglomeration
Tourism generates increased income and employment in host countries and regions which substantially improves local economies. On the other hand, the manufacturing sector remains the most important part in regional and national economies. By explicitly embedding a nontraded good sector into a new economic geography model, we were able to investigate the interdependence between the tourism sector...
