摘要
Critically assessing and integrating the existing literature on static agglomeration economies, this paper overcomes the agglomeration-growth shortcut actually present in the literature by underlying the role of dynamic agglomeration economies and by empirically identifying their determinants. These latter consist in the quality of the activities hosted, the quality of production factors, the density of external linkages and co-operation networks, and the characteristics of the overall urban system in which the city is located. These factors are expected to increase productivity and long-term structural dynamics' processes of urban transformation. Theoretical expectations are validated through an econometric analysis on 136 European large urban zones. Resumen Mediante una evaluacion critica y una integracion de la literatura existente sobre las economias de aglomeracion estaticas, este articulo supera el tema de la relacion aglomeracion-crecimiento presente en la actualidad en la literatura, sustentando el papel de las economias de aglomeracion dinamicas e identificando empiricamente sus determinantes. Estos ultimos consisten en la calidad de las actividades organizadas, la calidad de los factores de produccion, la densidad de los vinculos externos y las redes de cooperacion, y las caracteristicas del sistema urbano en general en el que se encuentra la ciudad. Se espera que estos factores aumenten la productividad y los procesos de dinamicas estructurales' a largo plazo de la transformacion urbana. Las expectativas teoricas se validan mediante un analisis econometrico en 136 grandes zonas urbanas europeas.
