Industrial Agglomeration and (the Lack of) Competition
This project's objective is to use theoretically-motivated empirics to examine the relationship between market power and industrial agglomeration/clusters in order to better evaluate the impacts of development policies that promote or support industrial clusters. The project also undertook a comparative analysis which examines the extent to which these findings are common both within and across India and China, and in what ways they differ.
