key insight that emerges is that the interaction between agglomeration economies and comparative advantage involves a … comparative advantage in sectors governed by this force whilst the impact of agglomeration economies is enhanced by trade cost … small economies is not only shaped by the primitives that determine agglomeration economies and comparative advantage but …

This study explores the relationship between agglomeration economies and industrial productivity between 1980 and 2010 …

This paper empirically analyzes the agglomeration-related productivity premium at the enterprise level of the … manufacturing industry in Russia. A settlement is counted as part of an urban agglomeration in two cases: that of a large, central … as a result of urbanization and external scale economy - the agglomeration of firms belonging to different industries at …

This paper examines three key issues encountered when estimating the relationship between agglomeration and multi … factor productivity (‘agglomeration elasticities’): the sorting of heterogeneous firms, the convexity of agglomeration … dimensions, and to estimate separate agglomeration elasticities across industries and regions. Sorting leads to upward biased …
