About

Agglomeration economics is a field within economics and economic geography that studies the benefits and costs arising from the geographic concentration of economic activity. It investigates the external economies—such as labor market pooling, specialized input sharing, and knowledge spillovers—that enhance productivity and innovation for firms and workers located in close proximity. This concept is fundamental to understanding the formation, growth, and spatial structure of cities and industrial clusters.
