Silicon Mountains, Silicon Molehills: Geographic Concentration and Convergence of Internet Industries in the US

Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of information technology on industrial patterns of concentration and convergence. Information-technology intensive industries exhibit slower employment convergence than other industries. The regression estimates suggest that the highest-IT industries exhibit employment convergence at only half the average rate for all industries. However, it is not the information-technology usage per se that is associated with slower convergence.
