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.

Radiative Transfer Model parametrization for simulating the reflectance of meadow vegetation
Natural vegetation is complex and its reflectance is not easy to model. The aim of this study was to adjust the Radiative Transfer Model parameters for modelling the reflectance of heterogeneous meadows and evaluate its...
Stream water temperature: a short review with special reference to diurnal dynamics
Dynamic changes in stream water temperature are caused by thermal energy exchange at the interface between the water and the atmosphere, and between the water and the streambed. This heat flux is the result of physical p...
