Using entropy indices and associated bootstrap tests, we describe the distribution of economic sectors across Western European regions over the 1975-2000 period. We decompose geographic concentration into its within-country and between-country components. In addition, we estimate...

Using entropy indices and associated bootstrap tests, we describe the distribution of economic sectors across Western European regions over the 1975-2000 period. We decompose sectoral concentration into its within-country and between-country components In addition, we estimate centre-periphery...

This paper provides a methodologically rigorous description of sectoral location patterns across Western European regions over the 1975-2000 period. To measure geographic concentration, we use decomposable entropy indices and associated bootstrap tests. In addition, we estimate locational...
