Coagglomeration and Growth*

چکیده
Using plant-level data for the Irish manufacturing sector over the period 1983-98, we study the coagglomeration of domestic plants and foreign multinationals in Ireland. To this end we make use of the index developed by Ellison and Glaeser (1997) and find coagglomeration to be important for a number of sectors. We further test for the impact of coagglomeration on domestic firms’ employment growth using panel level data. Foreign presence as well as foreign employment density are found to be important determinants of employment growth over the period, especially for those sectors with a high degree of coagglomeration. JEL classification: F23, R3, Q40

Extraction of Industry Coagglomeration Patterns from Small Area Statistics: An Approach by the FDR-Based Cluster Detection and the Frequent Pattern Mining of Industry Clusters
Identifying the way in which the enterprises of related businesses locates in proximity occur – the coagglomeration of industries – is a key solution to understand the geographic concentration mechanisms of industries. Many research in geography and spatial economics have been addressing this issue to explain and theorize such mechanism. This paper proposes a new statistical approach that allow...
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...

Industrial coagglomeration: some state-level evidence for Brazil
Resumo O artigo quantifica a coaglomeração industrial entre pares de setores da indústria de transformação no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, em 2010. Para tanto, considera-se o índice de coaglomeração avançado por Ellison et al. (2010) e procura-se relacionar com indicadores que aproximariam o uso de trabalhadores semelhantes (labor pooling), proximidade com fornecedores e clientes, e vantagens natu...
متن کاملAgglomeration of invention in the Bay Area: Not just ICT
We document that the Bay Area rose from 4% of all successful US patent applications in 1976 to 16% in 2008. This is partly driven by the increase in the prevalence of information and communication technology; however, even for patents unrelated to information and communication technology, we see a disproportionate increase in the share of all US patents from the Bay Area. We interpret this to s...
