A stochastic theory of geographic concentration and the empirical evidence in Germany
Brenner, Thomas - 2005
A stochastic model of the evolution of the firm population in a region and industry is developed. This model is used to make predictions about the expected probability distribution of the firm number in regions and their dynamics. Data on the spatial distribution of firms in Germany is used to...
