Abstract
Although a seemingly intuitive concept, the identification of clusters involves a
number of complexities linked to (1) the cluster definition (the industry
boundaries) and (2) the spatial determination of clusters. Over the last 20 years,
researchers have proposed a range of methods to address both aspects. The
choice of cluster identification method will depend on the policy question,
geographical context, type of industries under investigation and, importantly,
data availability.
A combination of Delgado’s et al. (2016) cluster definition method and Feser’s et
al. (2005) method for identifying geographical concentrations would usefully
inform many policy contexts.
