Abstract:
In theory, the industrial agglomeration is a double-edged sword as there are both positive and negative externalities. China’s cities, with great disparities on degrees of the industrial agglomeration, often face different energy and carbon dioxide emission problems, which raise the question whether the industrial agglomeration promotes or inhibits energy efficiency and carbon dioxide emission. This paper explored the effects of the industrial agglomeration on carbon efficiency in China. Spatial econometric methods were implemented using panel data (2007–2016) of 285 cities above the prefecture level. The results revealed that industrial agglomerations have significant impacts on the urban carbon efficiency with significant spatial spillover effects. The agglomerations of the manufacturing and high-end productive service industries take positive effects on carbon efficiency while the low-end productive and living service industries take negative effects. As a comparison, we found that the agglomeration effects at the level of the megalopolis are greater than those at the national level, especially for the living services industry, in which the higher levels of agglomeration make the effects on carbon efficiency change from negative to positive. The divisions of labor for the central and common cities in the megalopolises are integrated into the industrial agglomeration. Furthermore, the fractional-order grey forecasting model is used in this paper. By the virtue of its advantage in dealing with small sample data which lack statistical rules, this paper makes an out-of-sample prediction of carbon efficiency and industrial agglomeration degree of Chinese cities. By adding the predicted results to the spatial correlation test, new evidence on the spatial correlation of carbon efficiency and spatial division of labor between cities is obtained. Based on the empirical results of the present study, we have proposed some policy recommendations.

Abstract:
To account for the uneven distribution of economic activity in space, I propose a theory of the location choices of heterogeneous firms in a variety of sectors across cities. In equilibrium, the distribution of city sizes and the sorting patterns of firms are uniquely determined and affect aggregate TFP and welfare. I estimate the model using French firm-level data and find that nearly half of the productivity advantage of large cities is due to firm sorting, the rest coming from agglomeration economies. I quantify the general equilibrium effects of place-based policies: policies that subsidize smaller cities have negative aggregate effects. (JEL D22, D24, R11, R32)

Abstract:
This paper collects the data of China’s aquatic products from 2002 to 2018 and studies the relationship between the production agglomeration and export competitiveness of aquatic products. This paper calculates the production Concentration Rate (CR) which reflects the degree of agglomeration of aquatic products and the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index which reflects the export competitiveness of aquatic products, and then uses variable intercept model with fixed effects to empirically analyze the impact of production agglomeration of three main aquatic products (fish, crustacean and shellfish) on the export competitiveness. The results show that there is an obvious phenomenon of production agglomeration of aquatic products in China. Overall, the improvement of production agglomeration of aquatic products is conducive to the promotion of export competitiveness.

Abstract:
Since the reform and opening up, China has exported a large number of low-end manufacturing goods with the advantage of resource endowment, which has promoted the rapid development of China's economy, but it has been unable to meet the current demand for high-quality development of China's economy. At this stage, China's export enterprises are facing problems such as the rapid decline of the original low-cost advantage and the extrusion of other countries. Improving the quality of export products is one of the ways to realize China's high-quality development. Historical research results show that the financial service industry can promote the quality of export products by providing financial services and information flow. In this context, by introducing the driving relationship of financial agglomeration on the quality improvement of China's export products, this paper deeply studies the impact of financial agglomeration on the quality of export products, and puts forward policy suggestions to promote the quality improvement of export products. Firstly, this paper combs the relevant literature from two aspects: the influencing factors of export product quality and the development of financial agglomeration. On this basis, it expounds the spatial effect of financial agglomeration, and analyzes the spatial spillover effect mechanism of financial agglomeration on the quality of export products. Secondly, the quality of export products and the degree of financial agglomeration in the Yangtze River Delta are calculated based on the data of China customs database. Thirdly, the spatial econometric model is constructed to empirically test the impact of financial agglomeration on the spatial spillover effect of export product quality. Finally, based on the empirical research results, policy suggestions are put forward.

Abstract:
The ideas for creating share value have been shown to improve economic performance. In this study, we aim to map the Location Quotients of Medium-Large Industries (IBS) agglomeration in North Sumatra and show how industrial agglomeration affects local economic growth and company performance. In this study, we use Location Quotients (LQ) index to measure the agglomeration of Medium-Large Industries (IBS) by district or city. The measurements were carried out in 34 regencies and cities in North Sumatra between 2017 and 2019. The results show that IBS agglomeration increased by 20.59% in 2017 and a steady increase by 23.53% in 2018 to 2019. The added value of this study is the expansion of the dominant logic co-creation concept, with the principle of industrial agglomeration able to assist companies in achieving sustainability and competitive advantage by promoting the creation of shared value, ranging from planning corporate resources to meeting the economic value for all stakeholders.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of four essays, covering four different topics. The first essay investigates the relationship between inter-firm labor mobility and regional productivity growth. Previous studies have shown that density is positively correlated with growth. I claim that it is not density in itself, but rather the attributes associated with it that drives economic growth. One such attribute is the increased possibility for labor mobility and knowledge diffusion that follows when firms and individuals locate in close proximity to each other. This hypothesis is tested using density as an instrument for labor mobility. The result shows that labor mobility increases regional growth rates. The second essay examines the relationship between agglomeration economies and relative wage costs in influencing location of multinational corporations. An inflow of firms to certain regions and industries is likely to increase demand for labor. If mobility of labor is low increased costs can be expected to deter additional inflows of firms, albeit agglomeration economies may compensate for higher wages. The empirical analysis finds that FDI has become increasingly sensitive to differences in wage costs across industrialized countries, but also that agglomeration economies related to knowledge externalities positively influences higher costs. The third essay looks at the impact of FDI on home country investments. Previous research has been inconclusive as regards the effects on domestic investments. In this article, we show that this inconclusiveness can be explained at a disaggregated level as a function of the way industries are organized. We argue that a complementary relationship can be expected to prevail in vertically integrated industries, whereas a substitutionary relationship can be expected in horizontally organized production. The empirical analysis confirms a significant difference between the two categories of industry as regards the impact of outward FDI on domestic investment. The fourth, and final, essay of this thesis analyses how increased R&D expenditures and market size influence the distribution of comparative advantage. Previous studies report ambiguous results and also refer to periods when markets were much more segmented and production factors less mobile. The empirical analysis comprises 19 OECD-countries and spans the period 1981 to 1999. It is shown how an increase in R&D-expenditures by one percentage point implies a three-percentage point increase in high-technology exports, whereas market size fails to attain significance. In addition, institutional factors influence the dynamics of comparative advantage.

Abstract:
This research investigates the role of clustering, learning and innovation in retaining competitiveness in an existing tourism area in a peripheral region of Europe. To do this it draws on the tourism resort area known as the Costa del Sol in southern Spain. Structurally, it focuses on hotel and catering businesses, which are considered to be at the heart of the tourism industry. Tourism is shown not only to be fundamental to the development ofthis coastal agglomeration, but also critical to the development of the province of Malaga (of which the Costa del Sol is a part) and the wider region of Andalucia. Hence the need to examine the evolution oftourism, the sources of competitive advantage and how such advantage can be retained in a globalised marketplace. The key proposition is that retaining competitive advantage can best be achieved through learning and innovation and that agglomerations provide a milieu in which learning and innovation are stimulated. Agglomeration theory and the role of learning and innovation are tested through an examination of the spatial and temporal evolution of hotel and catering businesses and through questionnaire surveys covering these businesses. In particular, the surveys are directed at addressing the issues of learning and innovation and assessing the extent to which the Costa del Sol operates as a 'learning region'. Questionnaire work met with severe problems of non-response despite being undertaken in conjunction with local business organisations. Nevertheless, sufficient responses were obtained to provide some tentative answers to the questions being posed and to provide the foundation for further research. The principal conclusions were that the Costa del Sol has acted as a growth pole and seedbed for business development, and that learning and innovation are promoted as much by competition as by co-operation. Finally, some public policy implications are drawn from these conclusions.

Abstract:
Dans ce travail de thèse, il a constaté que l’étude des technologies numériques dans l’agriculture est récente dans le domaine de l’économie et par un scoping review, il a été identifié certains gaps dont le manque des études empiriques. Ainsi, quatre technologies ont été étudiées : connexion internet, robot de traite, outils d’aide à la décision (OAD) et outils de surveillances électroniques. Dans le secteur du lait, elles augmentent la production mais les effets sont plus importants pour les petites et moyennes exploitations. Plus important encore, les technologies connexion internet et OAD sont bénéfiques à tous les agriculteurs, utilisateurs ou non, puisque grâce à la proximité physique, ils arrivent à capter les effets d’agglomération techniques.Aussi, il a été trouvé qu’il existe un certain effet de rebond dans l’impact des technologies sur la production d’effluent. La contribution de la thèse est tout d’abord,nous avions été le premier, à notre connaissance, à avoir pu estimer ces effets à l’échelle nationale, effectivement les données étant encore très récentes l’appariement de plusieurs sources a été notre premier défi. Ensuite, nous avions appliqué deux nouvelles approches pour estimer les effets d’une utilisation de technologie, le Two-Stage least square (Geraci et al., 2014) et le Coarsening Exact Matching (Iacus et al, 2008) qui promettent des résultats plus pertinents pour notre contexte de donnée en coupe transversale et présentant une endogénéité. Enfin, la dernière contribution de la thèse est d’apporter des recommandations afin de permettre aux politiques publiques de comprendre les effets des nouvelles technologies et promouvoir les meilleures d'entre elles
In this thesis, it was found that the subject of study of digital technologies is still recent in the field of agricultural economics. Thus, through a scoping review, gaps were identified whose lack of empirical studies, as well as today's digital technologies, can be categorized into four groups: connection, recording, decision and execution. In the milk sector, these innovations increase production, but these advantages are inversely proportional to the intensity of production. In addition, internet connection technologies and decision support tools are beneficial to all farmers whether they are users or not. Since, thanks to their proximity, they manage to capture more agglomeration advantage. Also, it was found that there is a rebound effect as to the impact of these technologies on the manure production. The contributions of the thesis are that, first of all, it represents the first estimations, to our knowledge, of impacts of digital technologies on a farm on a national scale. Indeed, the data still very recent, matching multiple sources was our first challenge. As well, our estimation methods, namely the Two-Stage least square (2SRI) and the Coarsening Exact Matching (CEM), are new approaches and have more relevant results especially in our context of cross-sectional data with endogeneity. Finally, the last contribution is to make recommendations to enable public policies to understand the effects of new technologies and promote the best of them

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Klusterbegreppet introducerades under 1900-talet, men fenomenet erkändes redan under tidigt 1900-tal. Trots att marknaderna idag blir mer globaliserade, är klusterbegreppet fortfarande aktuellt. Som exempel på områden som kännetecknas av starka länkar mellan företagen kan Silicon Valley och Sophia-Antipolis nämnas, även kända som ”Industriella Hollywoods”.

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera interaktioner mellan aktörer inom ett lokalt ”Industriellt Hollywood” – Mjärdevi Science Park. Hur förhåller sig aktörerna till fördelar med att befinna sig inom ett närområde, i hur stor utsträckning utnyttjas dessa agglomerationsmöjligheter och varför?

Metod: Denna studie är baserad på djupintervjuer med sexton företagsrepresentanter från Mjärdevi Science Park och en professor från Linköpings Universitet.

Resultat: Aktörerna verkar vara medvetna om vilka agglomerationsfördelar som föreligger, dock utnyttjas dessa inte i någon större utsträckning. Störst kontakt har aktörerna på det sociala planet, tack vare en gemensam bakgrund samt ihärdiga försök från Mjärdevi Science Park AB:s sida att initiera kontakt mellan företagen.


Background: Porter introduced the concept of clusters in the 1990’s, but the phenomenon has been acknowledged since the beginning of the 20th century. In spite of the fact that markets are becoming increasingly more global today, the concept of clusters is still very much alive. Regional agglomerations of companies, commonly referred to as clusters, are exemplified by so- called ”Industrial Hollywoods”, such as Silicon Valley and Sophia-Antipolis. Purpose: We are intrigued by this paradox development of the markets and want to analyse interactions between actors within the local ”Industrial Hollywood” – Mjärdevi Science Park. This in order to find out whether these actors recognise any advantages of being located in a cluster of companies and to what extent agglomeration possibilities are exploited. Research Method: This study is based on interviews with sixteen actors from companies located in Mjärdevi Science Park, and one professor from Linköping University. We have also used secondary sources. Result: The actors recognise advantages to company agglomerations but do not seem to exploit these advantages to a great extent. However, several of the actors are in some way inter-connected, mostly on a social level due to common backgrounds and continuous attempts by Mjärdevi Science Park AB to initiate contact between companies.

Abstract:
A indústria transformadora tem um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento económico e social da Região Norte de Portugal. As economias de aglomeração são cada vez mais relevantes para a atração de investimento estrangeiro e de novas empresas para a Região Norte. Nesse sentido, torna-se crucial que haja uma forte aposta nas atividades em que esta região apresenta uma vantagem comparativa face a outras regiões. Por outro lado, pretende-se que, ao nível da qualidade das instituições, o apoio dado pelas instituições governamentais para o desenvolvimento do tecido empresarial esteja a ser corretamente posto em prática. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo focar-se na compreensão do grau de sensibilidade das vantagens comparativas, das economias de aglomeração e da qualidade das instituições em relação à indústria transformadora na Região Norte. De forma a responder à questão tratada, torna-se crucial perceber como estes fatores se poderão relacionar com a nova política de coesão territorial da União Europeia, denominada por especialização inteligente. De seguida, vai-se proceder à caracterização da indústria transformadora na Região Norte e à identificação dos padrões de especialização e localização, de modo a perceber se existem condições para a implementação desta recente política. De acordo com os principais resultados obtidos, é possível confirmar que os conceitos-chave têm um impacto positivo na indústria transformadora. Verifica-se também que as sub-regiões da Região Norte apresentam excelentes condições, face ao contexto nacional, para a aplicação de uma estratégia baseada na especialização inteligente.
The manufacturing industry has a fundamental role in the economic and social development of the Portuguese Northern Region. Agglomeration economies are increasingly relevant for attracting foreign investment and new companies to the Northern Region. In this sense, it is crucial that there is a strong focus on activities in which this region has a comparative advantage over other regions. On the other hand, it is intended that, in terms of the quality of the institutions, the support given by government institutions for the development of the businesses is being correctly put into practice. This dissertation has the main goal of understanding the degree of sensitivity of comparative advantages, economies of agglomeration and the quality of institutions in relation to the manufacturing industry in the Northern Region. In order to answer the question addressed, it is crucial to understand how these factors may relate to the new European Union territorial cohesion policy, called smart specialization. Then, the work proceeds to characterize the manufacturing industry in the Northern Region and identify the patterns specialization and location, in order to understand if there are conditions to implement this recent policy. According to the main results obtained, it is possible to confirm that the key concepts have a positive impact on the manufacturing industry. It is also verified that the subregions of the Northern Region present excellent conditions, in comparison to the national context, to apply a strategy based on the intelligent specialization.

Abstract:
AbstractUrban areas are often, and not without reason, portrayed as an opportunity to reduce environmental impacts: more effective use of land, better opportunities for the provision of public transport and less need on a per capita basis for investment in physical infrastructure. This is also the message of the literature on urban scaling. The very nature of the agglomeration economies that allow for economising on natural resources may, however, result in higher levels of per capita consumption. A major reason is that high density often translates into higher costs of space, in turn encouraging the concentration of high(er) productivity activities in major cities. As a result, spatial sorting occurs (e.g. with respect to educational attainment and incomes) and with it potentially also a differentiation of consumption patterns. In consequence, not just size and density, but also position in the urban hierarchy may need to be taken into account in assessing sustainability outcomes. To grasp the issue of urban sustainability, however, intra-urban differentiation too, will have to be considered in tandem with the inter-urban issues of boundary drawing for measurement—what we call “ontological cityism”. This is especially so if the focus shifts from the environmental to the social dimensions of sustainability, and if the trade-offs across the three pillars of sustainability are to be understood.

Abstract:
According to the economic geography literature, firms tend to geographically cluster when agglomeration economies exist. These are positive externalities associated with the co-location of firms within a bounded geographic area. Traditionally, the agglomerative advantages have been expressed in terms of pecuniary externalities and they have been identified as one of the key sources of the geographical clusters' competitive advantage. However, in the last years the basics of competition are changed and the ability of firms to create new knowledge is more crucial for success rather than the efficiency in production. This has shifted the attention of scholars on the role of knowledge and learning for the competitiveness and success of geographical clusters. In line with these studies, the chapter suggests that agglomeration economies are related to both pecuniary externalities and knowledge-based externalities. The latter are benefits that co-located firms can gain in terms of development of knowledge. To investigate whether knowledge-based externalities affect geographical clustering of firms, an agent-based model is developed. By using this model, a simulation analysis is carried out.

Abstract:
The concluding chapter emphasizes the need for institutional investors to rely on their own network economies as well as the agglomeration economies that they have access to through financial intermediaries. Social capital managers can be instrumental in helping institutional investors take advantage of these networks. Responding to the current trend toward peer collaboration and dis-intermediation, the chapter emphasizes the need for existing intermediaries to change their business models to keep pace. The number of new intermediaries that can help facilitate the flow of capital more efficiently into long-term assets are predicted to increase. The chapter highlights the importance of the government's role and the value of teaming up with true long-term partners for the sake of long-term assets like infrastructure,. This is the essence of the collaborative model, which helps investors achieve their own commercial objectives as well as broader economic objectives for society.

Abstract:
This chapter examines national science policy as a case-study in evidence-based policy design. Its reviews the strategy and science of Irish science policy in light of the challenges for such policies in an SOE. The success of knowledge intensive industries depends on access to knowledge. However, private firms tend to underinvest in basic science where much of the benefit spills over to other firms, highlighting an important role for governments. Governments of SOEs face two challenges in devising a strategy for science policy: first, the benefits of science investments are likely to flow disproportionately to other countries; second, small size may limit the benefits of agglomeration economies that are central to many knowledge-intensive industries. Despite obvious spillover and scale challenges – geographical stickiness of new knowledge production and the capacity to absorb knowledge from the global stock depends on being active at the frontiers of knowledge production. The chapter concludes that the national benefit of research is the advantage in being able to access knowledge produced elsewhere.

Abstract:
Since the industrial revolution of the 18th century, the modern economic system gradually matured and rapidly expanded in the world, especially the state capital investment relying on the railway, which drastically changed the urbanization process and city agglomeration pattern around the world. At the end of the 19th century, due to the important strategic value of the Far East, Russia raised state capital, built the Siberian Railway directly to Vladivostok, especially the C.E.R. across Northeast China, induced capital competition among China, Japan and Russia around the port and railway construction right and management right, formed the SMR system centered on Dalian, the C.E.R. system centered on Vladivostok, and the Chinese railway system centered on Huludao, laid the city structure of the “hub-railway network-hinterland” model centered on the port city in Northeast China, which promoted the development of commercial cities, hub cities and industrial and mining cities. Under the special tariff system, China, Japan and Russia relied on port-railway capital competition, forming the city development dynamic mechanism oriented by the export-oriented economy, that has the important theory value for how to effectively use the state capital advantage to promote the development of the macro-regional city system in the context of economic globalization.

Abstract:
A numerical model has been developed to study the impact of wet compression on the performance of three stages axial compressors. The CFD code, “FLUENT” was used to solve the governing equations in three dimensional, unsteady, turbulent flow scheme. Considering their advantages as volatile, non-corrosive, less erosive and renewable, Methanol droplets were considered for wet compression. They are introduced as a dispersed phase and are tracked in a Lagrangian frame. The model accounts for droplet-flow, droplet-droplet, and droplet-wall interactions. The compressor performance is analyzed in terms of; variation of air properties, characteristics of the operating point, and consumed power, due to wet compression. Parametric study has been conducted to find out the impact of different parameters on the performance of the compressor. These include the effect of; injection ratio, droplet size, and droplets agglomerations. It has been found that increasing the injection ratio reduces the temperature in both axial and radial directions. This in turn reduces the compressor specific power consumption. On the other hand, increasing the injected droplet size has an adverse effect on droplet evaporation rate and hence on specific power consumption. Droplets agglomerations tend to increase droplets sizes especially at rear stages of the compressor. This is also attributed to the omission of the smaller droplet due to early evaporation. Effect of agglomeration is emphasized as a result of higher loading ratio.

Abstract:
Agglomeration economies brings innovation and high growth rates and describes the advantages of agglomeration as decreasing of transportation costs, providing skilled labor pool and knowledge spillover. We aim to evaluate the industrial agglomeration economies with regard to the organized industrial zones in Komotini, Xanthi and Alexandroupolis that are located in Western Thrace and to develop some suggestion on the zones’ entrepreneurship potential. Survey data analysis; classification method; cluster analysis; factor analysis. Industrial agglomeration is an important concept on determining economic integration and dispersion of economic activities. Therefore, we consider the advantages of agglomeration and co-agglomeration in terms of the theoretical basis related to organized industrial zones as a model of industrial settlement. In this framework, in with model of industrial some surveys will be applied to 81 firms in the sample. The findings show that agglomeration economies support to competitive environment. This study will contribute to the policy suggestions on relations between Turkey and Greece in terms of forecasters of the related econometric application.

Full text
Abstract:
Nanoparticle deposition techniques hold the promise of simplifying thin film deposition while enabling enhanced performance through the control of film density, porosity and composition. In this paper, ceria nanoparticles are deposited from solution to a film via spin coating. A comparison is made between the nanoparticle shape and film morphology produced by depositing from different mixing approaches. In this paper, different mixing approaches were carried out by using traditional batch precipitation reactor and continuous microchannel reactor (T-mixer). Preliminary results show different particle shape and film morphology as a function of precursor concentration. Advantages of the microchannel approach include better control of nanoparticle shape and more uniform film with less agglomeration.

Full text
Abstract:
ABSTRACT The present study used a person-oriented approach to examine gender differences at the level of achievement profiles and examine such differences in the context of urban and rural schools. The achievement test scores in English, math, and science of 2,408 tenth-grade students were used to derive achievement profiles through agglomerative-hierarchical and k- means clustering techniques. Four profiles were derived: 1) Low Achievers, 2) True Average Achievers, 3) High Achievers with weak math and science skills, and 4) High Achievers with strong math and science skills. Significant gender and urban/rural school differences among the profiles were found after performing cross-tabulation analyses with chi-square testing. The so-called “female advantage” in education was more evident among Low Achievers, but not among the High Achievers. When the urban/rural school context was considered, the female advantage tends to disappear and the urban school advantage becomes more definite. Finally, the High Achievers with weak math and science skills were mostly females in urban schools. The findings suggest that it is important to situate gender differences in a certain context. Implications for practice are provided, as well as recommendations for future research.

In ASME 2005 Summer Heat Transfer Conference collocated with the ASME 2005 Pacific Rim Technical Conference and Exhibition on Integration and Packaging of MEMS, NEMS, and Electronic Systems.

Abstract:
An experimental study was conducted to demonstrate the existence and estimate the value of an optimum number density of silicon plates (blocks) in a fluidic self-assembly process used for parallel assembling of microelectronics. Blocks ranging in size from 350 to 1050 microns were released under water over an inclined substrate and allowed to move gravitationally to fill indentations (receptors) of matching shape. The performance of the process was evaluated in terms of the time necessary to achieve filling. Results indicate that there is an optimum block density for which the filling time is minimum. If the density is too high, blocks in contact with each other form agglomerations that reduce the mobility of individual blocks and prevent them from aligning properly with the receptors to fill them. The optimum area fraction covered by blocks was relatively similar for the three sizes of blocks considered. The findings amend a common belief that the FSA performance increases indefinitely with the density of blocks released. Economic advantages of a limited block density at industrial scale are discussed.
