Enterprise agglomeration, output prices, and physical productivity: Firm-level evidence from Ethiopia
Siba, Eyerusalem; Söderbom, Måns; Bigsten, Arne; … - 2012
We use census panel data on Ethiopian manufacturing firms to analyze the connections between enterprise agglomeration, firm-level output prices and physical productivity. We find a negative and statistically significant relationship between the agglomeration of firms that produce a given product...

Measuring industry agglomeration and identifying the driving forces
Howard, Emma; Newman, Carol; Tarp, Finn - 2012
Understanding industry agglomeration and its driving forces is critical for the formulation of industrial policy in developing countries. Crucial to this process is the definition and measurement of agglomeration. We propose a new measure and examine what it reveals about the importance of...

From here, from there, and from beyond : endogenous and exogenous factors triggering change along the cluster life cycle in a multi-scalar environment
Santner, Dominik; Fornahl, Dirk - 2014
While explaining cluster internal impacts on cluster development, cluster life cycle theory fails to explain the influence of cluster external factors. Based on a multiscalar approach, this study investigates factors causing change within an agritech cluster applying a qualitative approach. Main...
