摘要

The reasons for the formation of industrial clusters have interested researchers for nearly a century. The reduction of the costs of transporting materials and transaction cost economics have been used to explain the advantages to firms that locate within a cluster. More recently those explanations have been challenged because of advances in transportation and communication technology that lessen the need for physical proximity to minimize these costs. Arguments from the knowledge-based view consider how tacit knowledge is difficult to transmit through current communication technology and therefore, physical proximity is needed to allow for frequent person to person contact, which provides the richest means of communication.; Most scholarly work on industrial clustering has been theoretical. This dissertation tests empirically shipping and time costs arguments, transaction cost arguments, and knowledge-based arguments for industrial clustering.; The data were collected from the US Census Bureau, Compustat, and the Internal Revenue Service. The work is divided between two studies. The first study looks at the highest level of aggregation for manufacturing industries as defined by the NAICS codes, which are three-digit codes. The second study looks at lower levels of aggregation, which are six-digit NAICS codes.; The results of Study 1 indicate that transaction costs and transportation costs are positive factors in industrial clustering. However, levels of tacit knowledge proved to be negatively correlated with industrial clustering. This anomaly could be caused by the fundamentally different nature of various industries such that their levels of tacit knowledge were not captured by the instrument used. To test this, a second study was conducted on a group of related subindustries.; Study 2 examined the 30 subindustries (at the 6-digit NAICS code level) of the Computer and Electronic Product Manufacturing industry. The intent of this study was to test the hypotheses on a set of related industries that would experience similar dynamics. On this data set, all three measures were positively correlated with industrial clustering.
