| Abstract: | This article examines the most significant assumptions on clustering and its impacts for high tech innovation and performance, with evidence from the Los Angeles metropolitan region. Geographical clusters in three advanced electronics industry groups are identified and related to the larger metropolitan context. Assumptions on the importance of clustering for R&D, inter-firm cooperation, productivity, small firm incubation, production costs, local embeddedness and industrial district effects are considered. Data from establishment surveys of clustered and non-clustered plants are then examined, to determine whether the assumptions diffused through much of the literature on high tech development correspond with the evidence found for the Los Angeles metropolitan region. |
