| Research Abstract |
The present project established, for the first time, a formal statistical framework to detect industrial agglomerations on a map. This is a fundamental contribution to the economics of agglomeration (or its generalization, spatial economics). This framework enables us to analyze the spatial patterns (e.g., size, number and spacing) of agglomerations and their coordination across industries and population. In particular, it has been shown that there is a strong and persistent regularity between the industrial structure and population size of a city.
