摘要
Barrios S., Bertinelli L., Strobl E. and Teixeira A. C. Spatial distribution of manufacturing activity and its determinants: a comparison of three small European countries, Regional Studies. The paper investigates and compares the spatial distribution of manufacturing activity and its determinants in Belgium, Ireland, and Portugal using comparable, exhaustive micro-level data sets. Some similarities are found between Portugal and Belgium, but little for Ireland. Moreover, there is some evidence that forward and backward linkages, research and development activity, and labour market pooling of skilled labour can be important determinants of agglomeration, although this crucially depends on the country examined.
