| Abstract: | Alternative explanations for the formation of industrial districts stress, on the one hand, that the industrial process produces characteristics of the district (labour skills, interindustrial linkages) and, on the other hand, that characteristics of the regions influence the type of industries that emerge. The formation of the cotton textile machinery and firearms industrial districts in New England between 1790 and 1820 demonstrates the importance of initial conditions. |
