Dynamic agglomeration economies and learning by working in specialised regions
研究了在德国不同区域劳动力市场积累工作经验对入职工资的影响，发现服务业工人受益于人力资本外部性，而制造业工人从本地化经济中获得额外动态收益。
Abstract This study provides new evidence on the magnitude of dynamic agglomeration economies. It estimates the elasticity of entry wage with regard to the size of the regional labour markets in which previous work experience was acquired and considers, furthermore, the workforce compositions in these regions. The results indicate that not only the sheer size of regional labour markets determine individual knowledge accumulation. Benefits from acquiring experience in large labour markets by workers in service sector occupations are partly caused by human capital externalities, whereas manufacturing workers experience additional dynamic gains from localisation economies, in Germany particularly outside urban centres.
