Within‐industry agglomeration of occupations: Evidence from census microdata
利用工人层面的行业、职业和工作地点数据,研究了制造业内部生产、行政和研发三类职业的空间分布差异,发现研发职业的空间集中度最高。
Abstract This study uses worker‐level data on industry, occupation, and place of work to explore differences in the spatial properties of production, administrative, and R&D occupation groups within industries. To measure differences, we calculate location quotients at the local labor market level and the Duranton and Overman (2005) agglomeration index for each group. We find appreciable differences in the spatial distribution of occupation groups within most manufacturing industries, with R&D occupations consistently exhibiting the highest degree of spatial concentration. Our results are consistent with the core theoretical and empirical results in the agglomeration literature.
