Author(s): Niko Matouschek and Frédéric Robert-Nicoud

Publication Date: April 2003

Keyword(s): firm location and human capital investment

Programme Area(s): International Trade and Regional Economics

We show that whether human capital investments act as a force for or against concentration depends on who is undertaking them and whether they are industry- or firm-specific. We also discuss the empirical predictions of our theoretical analysis.
