... accounts for 51% and 9% of the Catalan and Spanish GDP, respectively. The MAB is composed of 36 municipalities (see Table A (Annex) and Figure 1), of which its capital (Barcelona) accounts for 50% of the population of the whole area. SABI contains comprehensive information on firms in Spain, detailed by firms' geographical information (plain coordinates), employment, and among others characteristics at the 3-digit NACE level. ...

... is significant coagglomeration, if and when, both symmetric cases exceed the significance bands. Then, the first conclusion we can draw is that CIs and Non-CIs do not colocate However when we calculate inter-industry M functions for CIs by size (in terms of number of workers) we find some interesting facts (see Figure 10). On the one hand, previous results are confirmed by obtaining not significant results for the coagglomeration of CIs and Non-CIs for the cases of small, medium and large subsamples. ...

... INSERT FIGURE 10 HERE] Despite the forcefulness of previous results, it could be interesting to analyse the coagglomeration patterns of particular CIs' sectors. Figure 11 shows inter-industry significant M functions results for selected CIs. 12 Results for significant inter-industry concentration can also be found in Table 3. ...

... In the economic geography literature, the focus is primarily put on the location patterns of the CCIs (Comunian et al., 2010;Boix et al., 2015;Coll-Martínez et al., 2019b), the impact of CCIs clusters on firm creation and performance (De Jong et al., 2007;Piergiovanni et al., 2012;Coll-Martínez and Arauzo-Carod, 2017;Coll-Martínez, 2019a;Cruz and Teixeira, 2021;Cruz and Teixeira, 2023), and innovation and growth (Bakhshi and McVittie, 2009;Lee and Rodríguez-Pose, 2014;Innocenti and Lazzeretti, 2019). Most of these contributions agree that there are strong inter-industry linkages between creative and non-creative industries that enhance the positive e↵ects of the former over the latter. ...
... Providing such a framework that enables a skills-based approach for CCI research is particularly valuable as it might be empirically integrated into several crucial debates on the potential that CCIs have for fostering creativity and innovation at the regional level. First, a skills-based approach may help to improve the measurement of spillovers arising from the agglomeration of the CCIs and their co-location with other key sectors (STAM) (Cunningham and Potts, 2015;Coll-Martínez et al., 2019b;Rodríguez-Pose and Lee, 2020) given that cognitive distance among industries is reflected on the skills and knowledge of their workforce. Second, since the production activities of the CCIs seem to require diverse and specialised skill sets and knowledge (Turok, 2003), this approach may help to identify the skill composition of the CCIs in regional labour markets that contribute to the set-up of regional diversification strategies (Clifton et al., 2015;Cooke and De Propris, 2014). ...
... The CCI skills are expected to di↵er significantly by region due to the uneven distribution of CCIs across space which is widely analysed by the cluster studies (Boix, 2012 ;Gong and Hassink, 2017;Coll-Martínez et al., 2019b). To briefly document the variation of the CCI skills across Italian regions, we first create a measure of the average CCI skills (CCI Skills) by region (p) and time (t) as follows. ...
Despite the growing literature on the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) within the last decades, the understanding of the actual human capital that characterises these industries is still limited. The need for a framework to unfold the CCIs’ human capital increases when considering their long-attributed role in knowledge spillovers, cross-fertilisation, and innovation processes in the larger economy. In this regard, the present study provides the first conceptual and empirical framework to identify and evaluate the CCIs’ skill compositions by utilising the revealed skill requirements method based on the relative skill advantage, relatedness and complexity measures. Based on this framework, essential and complementary skills for the CCIs are identified and discussed in terms of the implications for regional specialisation.
... Research on innovation in the cultural industry uses territorial agglomeration as an explanatory variable of its success in the city context (Cooke & Lazzeretti, 2008;Coll Martínez et al., 2016) the same happens with the study of innovation in the creative, digital and computational industries (Asheim & Isaksen, 1997;Chang & Oxley, 2009). These investigations shed light on the construction and consolidation of regional innovation systems at the subnational level. ...
The imperative of energy transition towards alternative forms to fossil fuels has meant the approval and construction of countless renewable energy projects in non-urban areas of Chile. This productive pressure has meant the accelerated creation of energy geographies that untie production and consumption in a model that, in some perspectives, deepens into traditional extractive forms. Based on an official cadastre of hydroelectric production in the country, we seek to reveal a process of territorial agglomeration in energy production. This productive agglomeration is far from the traditional advantages recognized for industrial clusters and, on the contrary, stresses socio-environmental relations in the context of energy transition.
En este estudio se develan, localizan y delimitan aglomeraciones y coaglomeraciones de empresas de base tecnológica (EBT) en la Zona Metropolitana de Toluca (ZMT), para 2010 y 2020. Se utilizan las funciones espaciales M y m, métodos multiescalares de análisis de patrones de puntos que apenas se aplican en el mundo y no se han utilizado en México. Estas funciones operan en espacios continuos y evitan el grave problema de la unidad espacial modificable, que afecta a numerosos análisis geoeconómicos. En la ZMT la industria del transporte es el eje articulador de procesos de aglomeración y coaglomeración de EBT. Por último, Se perfilan líneas de política y una agenda estratégica de investigación.
This paper focuses on creative industries and the role played by the existing spatial distribution and agglomeration economies of these activities in relation to their entry decisions. We rely on employment and firm-level data in the creative industries (provided by INSEE) and compare the location of new establishments in the creative and non-creative industries between 2009 and 2013 in French departments (NUTS 3 regions). We use count data models and spatial econometrics to show that location determinants are rather similar in creative and non-creative industries and that specialisation in creative industries positively influences the entry of all other industries. The French case provides new insights to understand the geographical patterns of creative industries.
The aim of this paper is to analyse common location patterns of software and video game (SVE) industry and the related agglomeration processes with other creative industries in Barcelona, Lyon and Hamburg. SVE is a key industry in developed countries and one which, due to a search for agglomeration economies, skilled labour and a range of spillover effects, is mainly located at the core of larger metropolitan areas. The cities used in our empirical application share some common features in terms of size, manufacturing tradition and, especially, economic strategies, as they have managed to promote high-tech neighbourhoods through ambitious urban renewal policies aimed at attracting the SVE industry. When analysing location patterns of firms in the industry, although our results highlight the predominant role of the urban cores of these three cities, they also indicate important specificities in terms of core–periphery distribution of SVE firms and the already mentioned urban renewal projects.
