Abstract

Gegenstand zahlreicher regionalökonomischer Untersuchungen ist die Spezialisierung von Regionen auf eine oder wenige Branchen und die gemeinsame Standortwahl von Unternehmen, also regionale Konzentration. Bevor jedoch die Gründe für die Verteilung ökonomischer Aktivität im Raum erforscht werden können, muss feststellt werden, ob vor Ort eine Konzentration/Spezialisierung vorliegt. Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist, ausgewählte regionalökonomische Kennziffern zur Berechnung von Konzentration/Spezialisierung leicht nachvollziehbar anhand von Beispielen darzustellen.
