Local economic structure and industry development in Germany, 1993-2001

Abstract

"This paper formulates a weighted regression approach to analyze the impact of dynamic MAR- and Jacobs-externalities on local employment growth in Germany between 1993 and 2001. We find that Jacobs-externalities matter both in manufacturing, and service industries. MAR-externalities are present only in services." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
