Abstract

Während zur Messung von räumlicher Konzentration ökonomischer Aktivitäten verschiedene Verfahren zur Verfügung stehen, sind kaum Methoden zur Beurteilung des Phänomens von Co-Agglomeration und Abstoßung verschiedener Industrien verfügbar. Traditionelle bivariate Konzepte greifen meist zu kurz. Arbia et al. (Empir. Econ. 34(1):81–103, 2008 ) zeigen, dass das Verfahren der bivariaten K-Funktionen zur Analyse von räumlichen Punktprozessen in ökonomischen Zusammenhängen geeignet ist. Innerhalb dieses Artikels nutzen wir das Instrument der bivariaten K-Funktionen zur Aufdeckung gegenseitiger Abhängigkeiten bei der Standortwahl von Firmen des verarbeitenden Gewerbes in Deutschland. Die Ergebnisse der bivariaten K-Funktionen dienen als Basis für Cluster-Analysen, mit deren Hilfe verschiedene Cluster für miteinander verbundene Sektoren für variierende räumliche Distanzen ermittelt werden.
