Agglomeration, Public Expenditure and Productivity Spillover in Space: Firm-Level Evidence from China’s Electric Apparatus Industry
The article consists of two parts. Part I examines the Chinese Annual Survey of Industrial Firms database (CASIF). We start with a brief description of the coverage and key variables, followed by a review of recent applications of the data set in empirical studies. We then discuss the quality and the limitations of the dataset and propose a data cleaning procedure that identifies the key inform...
متن کاملFirm Level Interactions Between Exporting and Productivity : Industry Specific
This paper investigates interactions between exporting and productivity at the firm level, using a panel of firms in the UK chemical industry. This is both highly technology intensive and the UK’s largest exporting sector. We find exporters are more productive than non-exporters, but are also on average smaller. This superior productivity performance among exporters appears to be caused by both...
متن کامل2133 What Causes Industry Agglomeration ?
Many industries are geographically concentrated. Many mechanisms that could account for such agglomeration have been proposed. We note that these theories make different predictions about which pairs of industries should be coagglomerated. We discuss the measurement of coagglomeration and use data from the Census Bureau’s Longitudinal Research Database from 1972 to 1997 to compute pairwise coag...
متن کاملRelocation and agglomeration of Chinese industry
This paper investigates the spatial concentration of Chinese manufacturing using data collected in both the second and third national industrial censuses. It is found that many of China’s manufacturing industries were highly geographically concentrated in several coastal regions in 1995. A historical comparison of the concentration levels between 1980, 1985 and 1995 suggests that manufacturing ...

Market-dominant firms traditionally have an advantage in growing markets because they operate with larger average plant sizes and are better able to reap the rewards of economies of scale. We present evidence that with information technology (IT), the effect is precisely the opposite: firms with less market power enjoy the benefits in a growing market. The influence of firm-level attributes on ...
