%X "This paper analyses the impact of dynamic MAR- and Jacobs-externalities
on local employment growth in Germany between 1993 and 2001. In order
to facilitate a comparison between the neighbouring countries we
firstly replicate the study of Combes (2000) on local employment growth
in France and find very similar results for Germany. Afterwards we formulate
an alternative empirical model that is based on a weighted regression
approach. With this model we find that Jacobs-externalities matter in
manufacturing, whereas MAR-externalities are present in advanced service
sectors." [authors abstract]
