摘要

Usually, in economic theory a distinction is made between specialisation and diversification, when characterising the sector structure of an economy. A specialised structure generates localisation advantages and MAR (Marshall-Arrow-Romer) externalities, while urbanisation economies and Jacobs externalities predominate in a diversified environment. In this study, the dichotomy specialisation/diversification is expanded by introducing the concept of diversified specialisation. Cities specialising in several sectors profit from both, MAR as well as Jacobs externalities. In contrast to diversified cities, diversified-specialised cities tend to be smaller and thereby benefit from lower congestion and production costs. As against specialised cities, their advantage lies in a comparatively diversified sector structure which fosters cross-sectoral spillovers and lessens the impact of sector-specific demand shocks on the regional economy. In the present study, an index for the degree of diversified specialisation is proposed and the impact of the regional sector structure on economic growth is assessed empirically by means of regression analyses. A panel data set comprising information on all 118 German kreisfreie Städte (i.e. cities enjoying county status) from 1998 up to 2008 (depending on the respective model setup) is employed. Evidence is found on the positive effects of diversified specialisation on regional economic performance.
