A Life Cycle for Clusters? The Dynamics of Agglomeration, Change, and Adaption /
The phenomenon of non-random spatial concentrations of firms in one or few related sectors (clusters) is intensively debated in economic theory and policy. The euphoria about successful clusters however neglects that historically, many thriving clusters did deteriorate into old industrial areas. Thi...
