“…It facilitates analysis in the sense that initial economic conditions prevailing in an area at the beginning of the sample period can arguably be treated as exogenous determinants of births. In other words, new establishments can be viewed as taking initial conditions as given and then deciding where to locate, being less affected by large 'sunk costs', that is to say, irrevocably committed costs or investments which are not recoverable in the case of exit or relocation (Cameron 1973;Clark and Wrigley 1995). A Dutch municipal data set on sectoral employment structures is used to construct indicators of various types of agglomeration economies (as hypothesised earlier in this section) that are as reminiscent as possible to those used in prior studies (see especially Glaeser et al 1992 andHenderson et al 1995).…”

In this research we look at the factors that determine new firm formation in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector among 580 municipalities in the Netherlands. In particular, we examine the role of agglomeration economies and other locational attributes in determining where new firms locate. Both proximity (contiguous) and heterogeneous (non-contiguous) structures at the local, regional and national level are significant when considering localised firm formation. This result supports previous evidence that high-technology enterprises tend to co-locate in areas where economic activity is spatially dense. The major point of our argument is that controversial research results in the literature concerning explanatory spatial circumstances that most favorably induce dynamic and innovative externalities (to a large extent) can be attributed to the lack of consistent spatial research designs that allow the modelling of multiple spatial scale and composition effects. More specifically, we argue that the incubation hypothesis needs adjusting to the appropriate spatial levels and units of analysis: that of the agglomerated region. Finally, we argue that the lack of consistent inclusion of life-cycle aspects of firms in the present mainstream literature on dynamic externalities also contributes to controversies in research outcomes. These findings are important for spatial economic policy indicating that investment in new technologies and economic structures should enhance the prospects for spillover effects at the local level.

“…Employment would thus have followed people, leading to a development of suburbs in terms of social and personal resident-oriented services and equipment. Furthermore, some economic activities massively relocated from central cities to suburban locations for well-known and extensively studied reasons: the search for space and cheaper urban land, better freeway accessibility, access to suburban markets and workers (Cameron 1973;White 1976;Alperovich and Katz 1988).…”

The new intra-urban dynamics: Suburbanisation and functional specialisation in French cities

This article examines the relationships between the employment suburbanisation from central cities towards their suburbs, and the process of intraurban specialisation that occurred simultaneously in the fifty largest French metropolitan areas. A methodology is proposed to identify urban subcentres and to analyse the effects of the intra-urban specialisations on suburbanisation patterns. We conclude that the specialisation of both subcentres and central cities has a significant effect on suburbanisation rates. Lastly, an intra-metropolitan shift/share analysis provides additional insights into the employment dynamics of central cities and suburbs during the last twenty years.
