Regional 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 کاملChanges in Agglomeration Economies and Linkage Externalities for Japanese Urban Manufacturing Industries: 1990 and 2000
Urban agglomeration economies are usually divided into two categories: urbanization economies and localization economies. In the 1970s and 1980s, a number of attempts were made to estimate urbanization economies and/or localization economies directly in the production function. Since the work by Glaeser et al. in 1992, however, historical effects on agglomeration called dynamic externalities in...
متن کاملAgglomeration Economies: Microdata Panel Estimates from Canadian Manufacturing
This paper identifies the main sources of urban increasing returns, after Marshall. The geographical distance across which externalities flow is also examined. We bring to bear on these questions plant-level data organized in the form of a panel across the years 1989 and 1999. Plant-level production functions are estimated across the Canadian manufacturing sector as a whole and for five broad i...
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 کاملEffect of Productivity on Export: New Evidence from Iranâs Manufacturing Industries
Based on the recent literature of heterogeneous firms, productive firms self select themselves into foreign markets. In this framework, there is a productivity rise prior to exporting. On the other words, different export performance across firms is linked to their heterogeneity. Â The main purpose of the present paper is to examine the so-called hypothesis of heterogeneous firm in Iran. For ...
