The author tests how the local economic structure - measured by a region's sector specialization, competition, and diversity - affects the technological growth of manufacturing sectors. Most of the empirical literature on this topic assumes that in the long run more productive regions will...

This paper investigates whether the agglomeration of economic activity in regional clusters affects long-run manufacturing total factor productivity growth in an emerging market context. It explores a large firm-level panel dataset for Chile during a period characterized by high growth rates and...

This article investigates whether the agglomeration of economic activity in regional clusters affects long-run manufacturing Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth in an emerging market context. We explore a large firm-level panel dataset for Chile during a period characterized by high growth...
