Abstract: This paper investigates spatial agglomeration across industries in Italy, by using indexes controlling for the effects of chance and plants size. Data on 100 industrial manufacturing sectors in 1996 show that centripetal forces prevail over centrifugal ones. Econometric results show that agglomeration is fostered by both the human capital intensity of a sector and its propensity to innovate and hampered by transportation costs. Hence industries where knowledge spillovers matter more tend to be more agglomerated. The negative influence of transportation costs implies that falling trade.
