Factors that identify industrial districts: an application in Spanish manufacturing firms
The authors review ideas from the industrial district literature. They argue that district firms possess a number of collective or shared resources that account for firms' membership. These factors include: common reputation, intensity of exchange and combination of resources, and participation of local institutions. Their empirical research drew upon a sample of 220 Spanish manufacturing firms. Findings suggest a significant contribution of the chosen variables to overall discrimination between district member and nonmember firms.
