Mapping industrial patterns in spatial agglomeration: A SOM approach to Italian industrial districts Presenter: Yu-Ting LUAuthors: Vittorio Carlei, Massimiliano Nuccio2014. PRL
Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Methodology • Experiments • Conclusions • Comments
Motivation • IDs are traditionally identified by indexes which measure the physical concentration of firms belonging to a given industry, but are unable to seize the overall productive structure of the local economy.
Objectives • The methodology can be applied to different sizes of economic regions, to different industries and at different levels of industry classification. • The topological clustering provided by the SOM is able to define industrial patterns and also can measure the relative relevance of a given industry with Component Planes.
Conclusions • This paper contributes to investigate the process of regionalization of economic activities based on the geographic distribution of labour factor as a proxy of the local supply of human capital.
Comments • Advantages • Identify different forms of spatial agglomeration and local patterns of industrial • Applications • Self-Organizing Map • Analysis of Industry agglomeration
