Agglomeration externalities, market structure and employment growth in high-tech industries: Revisiting the evidence
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2015, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper we revisit the existing empirical evidence on the effects of various agglomeration externalities and the market structure on employment growth in the high-tech industries of the European Economic Area (EEA). Our study is based on the dynamic panel dataset of two-digit NACE rev 1.1. industries in 285 regions of the European Economic Area for the period 1995-2007. We find that employment growth is negatively related to competition, while localization and urbanization externalities do not seem to affect growth.
