Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we first apply the exploratory spatial data analysis to the Nagoya metropolitan area, where the prominent agglomeration of automobile and related industries can be observed. We identify and visualize the distribution and sectoral composition of industrial clusters contributing to job creation in municipal regions. Second, by applying the stochastic frontier analysis, we calculate the total factor productivity (TFP) index for firms classified into the industries that manufacture motor vehicles, vehicle’s bodies, and parts and accessories for motor vehicles. The TFP index is decomposed into the three factor components: technical change (technological progress), efficiency change, and scale change. In particular, the manufacturers of parts and accessories achieving higher degree of technical change tend to locate near downstream assembling factories. These findings suggest that geography is important for auto-related industries to realize technological progress.
