Abstract

ABSTRACT We investigate the cumulative causation between agglomeration of skilled workers and technological growth across cities with human capital externalities and agglomeration economies. We classify industry sectors in terms of technological growth: a modern sector with improving technology and a traditional sector with mature technology. Our model includes multiple specialization patterns of modern and traditional sectors across cities. We show that both ‘the cumulative causation between the agglomeration of skilled workers and technological growth’ and ‘the impacts of transport costs on that causation’ differ across industrial specialization patterns, implying that industrial specialization patterns matter for technological growth.

城市产业分工格局、熟练劳动力集聚与技术增长

本文研究了具有人力资本外部性和集聚经济的城市中技术工人集聚与技术增长之间的累积因果关系。我们根据技术增长对工业部门进行分类:技术进步的现代部门和技术成熟的传统部门。我们的模型包含了跨城市的现代和传统行业的多种专业化模式。我们发现，“技术工人集聚与技术增长之间的累积因果关系”和“运输成本对这种因果关系的影响”在不同的产业分工模式中有所不同，这意味着产业分工模式对技术增长很重要。

期刊介绍： Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world"s leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis.
