Abstract

This paper analyses the impact of economic externalities on the local growth emphasizing the industrial, geographic, and temporal scope of agglomeration economies. Thus, we estimated a spatial dynamic panel model using GMM associated with the use of data at different levels of sectoral aggregation. Estimation takes into account the endogeneity of agglomeration economies. Our database consists of 558 Brazilian regions for 1995–2015. The main results suggest that while externalities act in a local dimension they also have a regional scale. These externalities are determined by their temporal trajectory. The effects of agglomeration economies on local growth are sensitive to the choice of sectoral aggregation. Local growth exhibits positive specialization effects and negative diversity effects. However, greater industrial diversity of neighbouring regions has a positive impact on local growth. Este artículo analiza el impacto de las externalidades económicas en el crecimiento local, haciendo hincapié en el alcance industrial, geográfico y temporal de las economías de aglomeración. Para ello, se estimó un modelo de panel dinámico espacial que utiliza el MMG asociado con el uso de datos en diferentes niveles de agregación sectorial. La estimación tiene en cuenta la endogeneidad de las economías de aglomeración. Nuestra base de datos consta de 558 regiones brasileñas para el período 1995–2015. Los resultados principales sugieren que, si bien las externalidades actúan en una dimensión local, también tienen una escala regional. Estas externalidades están determinadas por su trayectoria temporal. Los efectos de las economías de aglomeración sobre el crecimiento local son sensibles a la elección de la agregación sectorial. El crecimiento local presenta efectos positivos en la especialización y efectos negativos en la diversidad. Sin embargo, la mayor diversidad industrial de las regiones vecinas tiene un impacto positivo en el crecimiento local. 本稿では、集積経済の産業的、地理的、時間的側面に重点を置いて、経済的外部性が地域の成長に及ぼす影響を分析する。そこで、レベルの異なるセクター別の集積のデータの利用に関連した一般化モーメント法を用いて、動的な空間的パネルモデルを推定した。推計には集積経済の内生性を考慮している。我々のデータベースは、ブラジルの558の地域の1995~2015年のデータで構成されている。主な結果から、外部性は地域的な次元で作用するが、地域的な規模でもあることが示唆される。これらの外部性は時間的な軌跡によって決まる。地域成長に対する集積経済の効果は、セクター別集積の選択の影響を受けやすい。地域の成長は正の特殊化効果と負の多様性効果を示す。しかし、近隣地域の産業の多様性の拡大は、地域の成長にプラスの影響を与える。
