越来越多的证据表明，公司受益于一个类似公司的地理集群的位置。然而，关于集聚经济在集群企业之间是否对称增长的问题，文献几乎没有提及。从知识为基础的观点，我们调查哪些公司受益最大的集聚，并讨论如何为企业家的影响是显着的，如果一些公司受益更多的地理集聚比别人。我们调查了三个特定的公司属性，可能会加重或减轻利益与参与集群。我们测试我们的假设，生物技术公司的样本，并找到强有力的证据表明，公司受益不对称。较年轻的公司和知识存量较高的公司从集聚中获益更多。
Increasing evidence indicates that firms benefit from a location in a geographic cluster of similar firms. The literature is nearly silent, however, on whether agglomeration economies accrue symmetrically across clustered firms. Drawing from the knowledge-based view, we investigate which firms benefit most from agglomeration and discuss how the implications for entrepreneurs are significant if some firms benefit more from geographic agglomeration than others. We investigate three particular firm attributes that may accentuate or mitigate benefits tied to participation in a cluster. We test our hypotheses on a sample of biotechnology firms and find strong evidence that firms benefit asymmetrically. Younger firms and firms with higher knowledge stocks benefit more from agglomeration.
