Externalities and industrial development
Article Abstract:
A study has been conducted to examine a proposed methodology which can distinguish dynamic externalities from fixed/random effects and identify a lag structure and the timing of historical effects. The proposed methodology was developed to estimate the nature, magnitude and timing of dynamic externalities and generate industry specific estimates for five industries. It has been found that increased concentrations of own industry activity affect employment levels for five or six years from the time of initiation. Evidence exists of the presence of an aging transmission mechanism since conditions from four years prior have been found to have a greater direct impact that conditions one year prior. Findings indicated that past industrial conditions strongly influence productivity employment, even after removing persistence due to fixed effects.
