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...

Detecting Spatial Clustering Using a Firm-Level Index

Scholl, Tobias; Brenner, Thomas - 2013

We present a new statistical method that detects industrial clusters at a firm level. The proposed method does not divide space into subunits whereby it is not affected by the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP). Our metric differs both in its calculation and interpretation from existing...

Evolving localization patterns of company foundations - Evidence from the German MST-industry

Scholl, Tobias; Brenner, Thomas; Wendel, Martin - 2012

We investigate company foundations in the German micro technology industry by means of a spatial-temporal micro-geographic analysis. In order to deal with our unusual detailed data, we develop a new distance-based framework for a logistic regression that is able to present results in a...

Optimizing Distance-Based Methods for Big Data Analysis

Scholl, Tobias; Brenner, Thomas - 2013

Distance-based methods for measuring spatial concentration such as the Duranton-Overman index undergo an increasing popularity in the spatial econometrics community. However, a limiting factor for their usage is their computational complexity since both their memory requirements and running-time...

Universities as local knowledge hubs under different technology regimes - New evidence from academic patenting

Dornbusch, Friedrich; Brenner, Thomas - 2013

It is often claimed that universities act as local knowledge factories. Although this function is largely analyzed in previous research, there still is a knowledge gap regarding the role of a technological match between the profiles of partners in university-industry interactions. In addition,...
