When firms and people are located near each other in cities and in
industrial clusters, they benefit in various ways, including by
reducing the costs of exchanging goods and ideas. One might assume
that these benefits would become less important as transportation and
communication costs fall. Paradoxically, however, cities have become
increasingly important, and even within cities industrial clusters
remain vital. Agglomeration Economics brings together a group of
essays that examine the reasons why economic activity continues to
cluster together despite the falling costs of moving goods and
transmitting information. The studies cover a wide range of topics and
approach the economics of agglomeration from different angles.
Together they advance our understanding of agglomeration and its
implications for a globalized world.
