- Articles and reports: 11F0027M2013084Geography: CanadaDescription:
There is abundant evidence that many firms cluster together in space and that there is an association between clustering and productivity. This paper moves beyond identifying the broad effects of clustering and explores how different types of firms benefit from agglomeration. It advances research on agglomeration by showing, first, that not all firms gain to the same degree from co-location and, second, that businesses with different internal capabilities capture different forms of geographical externalities. The empirical analysis focuses on Canadian manufacturing establishments operating over the period from 1989 to 1999.
Release date: 2013-02-06 - 31C0024Description:
Concentration statistics summarize the size distribution of units within an industry. Numerous measures have been used for various purposes. This report presents data for the two most common: concentration ratios (CR) and Herfindahl indexes (HI), for years ranging from 1965 to the latest available.
The CR and HI emphasize different aspects of the size distribution. The CR measures the importance of the largest enterprises directly while the Herfindahl index takes the entire size distribution of enterprises into account. These statistics are classified by NAICS.
These data were published as Table 1 in catalogue number 31-402 Industrial organization and concentration in the manufacturing, mining and logging industries(1980) and updates to 1986 were made available on a special request basis.
