摘要
This paper explores the relation between vertical disintegration and the co-localization of knowledge intensive business service (KIBS) firms in the metropolitan region of Milan, using micro-geographic data and nonparametric methods. Our main results are that: (i) compared to other manufacturing and service industries, Kiss firms show a "natural tendency" to cluster; (ii) this tendency increases with the degree of vertical disintegration of KIBS firms.
