Abstract

ABSTRACT We use a point‐pattern methodology to explore the detailed location patterns of U.K. manufacturing industries. In particular, we consider the location of entrants and exiters versus continuing establishments, domestic‐ versus foreign‐owned, large versus small, and affiliated versus independent. We also examine colocalization between vertically‐linked industries. Our analysis provides a set of new stylized facts and confirmation for others.
