对经济活动地理集中的传统解释将产业集群的持久性归因于每个集群内部的局部集聚外部性。现有文献过分强调地方集聚的外部性，本质上将集群视为独立和孤立的实体，因此存在忽视集群间竞争和协作动态的风险。我们认为，产业的空间分布也很重要，因为区域竞争力不仅受到当地集聚外部性的影响，还受到附近集群的集聚外部性的影响。此外，为了补充以往倾向于静态观点的集聚研究，在产业生命周期的两个阶段考察了空间分布对区域竞争力的影响。对加拿大电信设备制造业的纵向研究结果表明，靠近其他地方的强大集聚外部性会提高一个地方在行业发展时创建更多新企业的能力，但会降低一个地方维持现有企业的能力以及在行业摆脱困境时创建更多新企业的能力。
The conventional explanation of the geographic concentration of economic activities attributes the persistence of industry clusters to the local agglomeration externalities within each cluster. By overemphasizing local agglomeration externalities, the existing literature essentially treats clusters as separate and isolated entities and thus risks overlooking competitive and collaborative dynamics across clusters. We argue that the spatial distribution of an industry matters as well because regional competitiveness is affected not only by its local agglomeration externalities but also by the agglomeration externalities in nearby clusters. Furthermore, to complement previous agglomeration research, which tends to take a static view, the impact of spatial distribution on regional competitiveness is examined across two stages of the industry life cycle. The findings from a longitudinal study of Canada's telecommunication equipment manufacturing industry reveal that being close to strong agglomeration externalities in other places increases a place's ability to create more new ventures when an industry grows but decreases a place's ability to sustain existing firms and its ability to create more new ventures when an industry shakes out.
