This paper examines the empirical relationship between agglomeration and economic growth for a panel of 48 Central and Eastern European regions from 1995 to 2006. By agglomeration, we mean the within-regional concentration of aggregate economic activity, which we measure using the 'topographic'...

Theoretical approaches have been developed to examine the effect of agglomeration on growth. However, the understanding of the mechanisms of agglomeration in developing countries remains unaddressed. This paper aims to give empirical evidence of the role of agglomeration on the growth of Latin...

Although industry clusters are major targets of regional economic development in less developed regions as well, we still need a deeper understanding on how spatial clustering of firms generates dynamics in lagging regions. These latter environments may differ too much from those typical cluster...

Using a spatial dynamic panel, the long-run industrial sector convergence rate across Mexico's states is found to be 2%. The model is a system-General Method of Moments with correction for spatial autocorrelation and an explicit human capital input. The significant inequality between the richest...
