dc.description.abstract | This Master thesis addresses the question whether the co-location of economic sectors increases firm performances in that region. The empirical study is based on the theoretical concepts of related and unrelated variety. Using a firm level panel data set covering more than 280.000 Norwegian enterprises and a time span of 10 years, I apply random and fixed effects models. The main finding is that related variety has a positive effect on regional firm performance. On the other hand, no evidence for an effect of unrelated variety can be found. Furthermore, different industrial sectors are compared, to show that the degree of variety has a differently strong effect on different industries. | nb_NO |
