Spillovers, Foreign Investment, and Export Behavior
TL;DR: The authors examined whether spillovers associated with one firm's export activity reduce the cost of exporting for other firms, identifying two sources of spillovers: export production in general and the specific activities of multinationals.

The Determinants of Agglomeration
TL;DR: This paper examined the microfoundations of agglomeration economies for U.S. manufacturing industries using industries as observations, and regress the Ellison-Glaeser measure of spatial concentration on industry characteristics that proxy for the presence of knowledge spillovers, labor market pooling, input sharing, product shipping costs, and natural advantage.

Geography, Industrial Organization, and Agglomeration
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a unique and rich database in conjunction with mapping software to measure the geographic extent of agglomerative externalities and found that industrial organization affects the benefits of the benefits.

The Economic Implications of Learning by Doing
TL;DR: It is by now incontrovertible that increases in per capita income cannot be explained simply by increases in the capital-labor ratio as mentioned in this paper, and that knowledge is growing in time.

Transcendental logarithmic production frontiers
TL;DR: Ebsco as mentioned in this paper focuses on additive and homogeneous production possibility frontiers that have played an important role in formulating statistical tests of the theory of production and characterizes the class of production possibility frontier that are homogeneous and additive.
