Regional knowledge and the emergence of an industry: Laser systems production in West Germany, 1975-2005
Bünstorf, Guido; Fritsch, Michael; Medrano, Luis F. - 2010
We analyze the emergence and spatial evolution of the German laser systems industry. Regional knowledge in the related field of laser sources, as well as the presence of universities with physics or engineering departments, is conducive to the emergence of laser systems suppliers. The regional...

The effect of new business formation on employment: the dominance of density
Schröter, Alexandra - 2009
Empirical analyses show that the employment effects of start-ups are highest in agglomerations, whereas moderately congested areas exhibit only modest effects, and weak or even no significant effects could be found in rural regions. This paper will set out to show that these discrepancies arise...

Are more start-ups really better? Quantity and quality of new businesses and their effect on regional development
Fritsch, Michael; Schröter, Alexandra - 2009
Empirical analyses suggest that the employment creating effect of start-ups is highest in regions with a low level of new business formation and that an increase in the regional start-up rate beyond a certain level may lead to negative employment effect. In explaining these results, we assume...
