摘要：

Industry agglomeration can be indicative of agglomeration forces and is correlated with firm outcomes. Because multi-plant firms tend cluster their establishments in space, industry agglomeration could in part be driven by forces internal to the firm rather than across-firm spillovers. We propose and implement a decomposition of the industry agglomeration measures into within and across-firm components using U.S. census microdata. The within-firm component makes a small contribution to observed industry agglomeration for most industries and spatial scales, but accounts for 20% or more of observed agglomeration at short spatial scales for a subset of industries.
