“Agglomeration” and “agglomeration factors” are important and well established concepts in Regional Science1 (see Mulligan, 1984; Norton, 1992). The latter describes “the economic advantages which accrue to a firm by locating in an area which contains a number of related industries, and/or in a large city or metropolitan area” (Stafford, 1979, p. 91). The term “agglomeration” refers either to the process that results from agglomeration factors or to the resulting spatial pattern of economic activities2.
