We propose an integrated framework to discuss the empirical literature on the local determinants of agglomeration … developing economies. We finally provide a discussion of attempts to identify and quantify specific agglomeration mechanisms. …

more insight in the heterogeneity in demand for employment agglomeration and size of the rental property using a two … nonparametric control function approach that corrects for endogeneity. The results show that agglomeration benefits are capitalised … in rents: a one standard deviation increase in agglomeration leads to an increase in the annual rents of about 6 percent …

With the tremendous growth of research in industrial agglomeration has come increased complexity in the construction of … a `better' measure of agglomeration. The research presented here tests the properties of commonly used agglomeration … agglomeration like the Duranton-Overman index or a continuous version of the Gini coefficient, especially for industries with fewer …
