Geographic Concentrations and Increasing Returns : A Survey of Evidence

Economic activities are highly clustered. Why is geographic concentration becoming a predominant feature of modern economies?

In so doing, we review econometric methods proposed in the literature to separate and to test alternative theoretical paradigms
