Abstract
Regional industrial policy emphasizes the notion of building on existing concentrations
of competitive firms. A range of measures to identify such concentrations has been put forward
in the literature. These measures, however, do not identify substantial concentrations
which have the best potential for further development, tend to concentrate on scale measured
by employment, and are applied using data for pre-specified administrative boundaries. This
paper presents a new concentration index that identifies substantial concentrations and utilizes
information on both the number and size of plants. It also proposes a method for generating
relevant industry-specific spatial units
