The Origins of Entrants and the Geographyof the German Laser Industry

Entry into an industry often clusters in regions where the industry is already concentrated,which is suggestive of agglomeration economies. Regional public research activities mayexert another attracting force on entrants into science-based industries. Empirically theseproximity effects are confounded by other influences on where entrants originate andlocate. This paper begins to disentangle the effects of agglomeration, public research, andthe supply of capable entrants for the German laser industry.[...]
