Abstract: Abstract The first great unbundling (Baldwin, 2006) took place during the industrial revolution, when it first became possible to produce goods in a location that was different from where they were consumed. This process facilitated economic agglomeration and led to the development of large cities, which in turn allowed for more specialization within specific regional areas. The process of specialization was based on local advantages, some of which were geographical in origin, while others developed more by accident, dependent on the location of individual entrepreneurs.
