本文对图书出版产业的空间集聚进行了研究。通过风险模型，我们考察了集聚经济和进入前创业经验对出版企业生存机会的影响。虽然对制造业进行了这种生存分析，但对文化和服务行业来说，这种分析仍然很少。基于荷兰1880年至2008年间成立的所有图书出版商的独特数据集，本文证明了阿姆斯特丹地区图书出版商的集群并没有增加阿姆斯特丹公司的生存。相反，先前在出版和相关行业的经验对公司的生存有积极的影响。阿姆斯特丹集群的主要特点是高入境和高出境水平。有趣的是，阿姆斯特丹集群并没有吸引其他地区的出版公司，而是为搬迁到其他地区的公司提供了孵化器。
This paper investigates the spatial clustering of the book publishing industry. By means of a hazard model, we examine the effect of agglomeration economies and pre-entry entrepreneurial experience on the survival chances of publishing firms. Whereas such survival analyses have been conducted for manufacturing industries, they are still scarce for cultural and service industries. Based on a unique dataset of all book publishers founded between 1880 and 2008 in the Netherlands, the paper demonstrates that the clustering of book publishers in the Amsterdam region did not increase the survival of Amsterdam firms. Instead, prior experience in publishing and related industries had a positive effect on firm survival. The Amsterdam cluster was characterized by high entry and exit levels mainly. Interestingly, the Amsterdam cluster did not function as an attractor for publishing firms from other regions, but rather acted as an incubator for firms that relocated to other regions.
