On the spatial scale of industrial agglomerations
Mori, Tomoya; Smith, Tony E. - 2015
Standard approaches to studying industrial agglomeration have been in terms of scalar measures of agglomeration within … each industry. But such measures often fail to distinguish spatial scales of agglomeration. In a previous paper, Mori and … agglomeration based on an explicit method for detecting spatial clusters. The first, designated as the global extent of industrial …

Cities and spatial interactions in West Africa : a clustering analysis of the local interactions of urban agglomerations
Curiel, Rafael Prieto; Heinrigs, Philipp; Heo, Inhoi - 2017
Over the past 60 years, urbanisation and cities have fundamentally transformed the social, economic and political geography of West Africa. The number of people living in cities increased from 5 million in 1950 to 133 million in 2010. During the same period, the number of towns and cities with...

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...

Identifying clusters within R&D intensive industries using local spatial methods
Kosfeld, Reinhold; Lauridsen, Jørgen - 2012
In recent times, there has been a renewed interest in cluster policies for supporting industrial and regional development. Prominent economics like Porter and Krugman emphasise the role of clusters in regional competition and show in which way clusters can positively affect competition by...
