Testing for Clustering of Industries - Evidence from micro geographic data

Scholl, Tobias; Brenner, Thomas - 2011

We present a new statistical method that describes the localization patterns of industries in a continuous space. The proposed method does not divide space into subunits whereby it is not affected by the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP). Our method fulfils all five criteria for a spatial...

The innovation efficiency of German regions - a shared-input DEA approach

Broekel, Tom; Rogge, Nicky; Brenner, Thomas - 2013

The paper contributes to the debate on how to measure regions'€ innovation performance. On the basis of the concept of regional innovation efficiency, we propose a new measure that eases the issue of choosing between industry-specific or global measures. We argue for the use of a robust...
