| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we first apply the methods of exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and investigate the geographical concentration of interrelated growing industries, or “growth clusters,” by using data from the Nagoya metropolitan area in Japan. Second, by applying spatial econometric models, we examine whether and which type of knowledge externalities contribute to region-industry dynamics and to the formation of the detected growth cluster. The core of the cluster is made up of manufacturing industries, but also includes several service sectors. The periphery of the cluster has less variety, mainly including the transportation equipment and electrical machinery industries. We find that intra-industry externalities that diffuse over a broader area within the cluster help the steady growth of the transportation equipment industry. In the core of the cluster, the diversified interrelated structure also contributes to the growth of the auto-related manufacturing sectors.
