Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the effects of dynamic agglomeration economies on the productivity growth of the industries in Indonesia’s regions. The study introduces employment market potential into the city-industry growth estimation for controlling local size and preventing overestimation of the agglomeration effects. The results suggest that both specialization and diversity are important for city-industry growth and that some externalities are stronger in different time periods. The effects of specialization and diversity on medium-term growth (2000–2010) are stronger than on long-term growth (1990–2010), in addition to new positive effects of competition. A detailed analysis across industries reveals a strong relationship between local industrial structure and performance—productivity and employment growth—which is associated with industry maturity within its lifecycle stages.
