Abstract

Brenner T. (2006) Identification of local industrial clusters in Germany, Regional Studies 40 , 1--14. This paper presents a method that allows local industrial clusters to be identified and applies this method to Germany. The method is applied to all three-digit manufacturing industries in Germany. The results are used in two ways. First, they provide some information about which industries are clustering, and which are not. Second, a complete list of all local clusters that existed in Germany in 2001 and are identified by this method is given. The spatial distribution of these local clusters in Germany is discussed in the light of other studies on Germany. Brenner T. (2006) L'identification des grappes industrielles locales en Allemagne, Regional Studies 40 , 1--14. Cet article cherche à présenter une méthode qui permet l'identification des grappes industrielles locales et son application à l'Allemagne. La méthode se voit appliquer à toute industrie manufacturière à trois chiffres en Allemagne. On emploie les résultats à deux temps. Dans un premier temps, ils fournissent des renseignements à propos des industries qui se regroupent et de celles qui ne le font pas. Dans un deuxième temps, ils fournissent une liste détaillée de toutes les grappes locales qui existaient en Allemagne en 2001 et qui sont identifiées de cette façon. On discute de la distribution géographique de ces grappes locales en Allemagne à la lumière d'autres études sur l'Allemagne.

(2006) Eine Identifizierung örtlich begrenzter Industriecluster in Deutschland, Regional Studies 40 , 1--14. Dieser Aufsatz stellt eine Methode vor, die gestattet, örtlich begrenzte Industriecluster zu identifizieren, und wendet diese Methode auf Deutschland an. Sie wird auf alle dreistelligen herstellenden Branchen des Landes angewandt. Die Ergebnisse können auf zweierlei Weise angewandt werden: zunächst geben sie Auskunft darüber, welche Industrien Cluster bilden und welche nicht. Sodann wird die vollständige Liste aller örtlich begrenzter Cluster vorgelegt, die im Jahre 2001 in Deutschland bestanden und mit Hilfe dieser Methode identifiziert werden können. Die räumliche Verteilung dieser örtlich begrenzten Cluster in Deutschland wird im Lichte anderer Untersuchungen über Deutschland diskutiert.

(2006) Identificación de agrupaciones industriales locales en Alemania, Regional Studies 40 , 1--14. En este artículo presento un método para poder identificar las agrupaciones industriales de ámbito local que aplico a Alemania. Este método se emplea a todas las industrias manufactureras de tres dígitos. Se utilizan los resultados de dos modos: Primero, dan información sobre qué industrias se agrupan y cuáles no. Segundo, se hace una lista completa de todas las agrupaciones locales que existían en Alemania en 2001 y se identifican mediante este método. Se analiza la distribución espacial de estas agrupaciones locales alemanas teniendo en cuenta otros estudios en Alemania.
