      abstract = {We analyze the impact of agglomeration economies on  employment growth rates for German sector-region  combinations using firm-level data. We provide a  comprehensive overview of the impact of agglomeration  economies analyzing all relevant industries on three  spatial scales, taking spatial dependence thoroughly into  account in the regression models. As cluster formation is  generally actively encouraged, we allow for a nonlinear  effect of specialization in our regression model, including  different industries. On the finest scale, we find that  high specialization contributes to employment growth for  the two sectors trade and social services, but has a  negative direct effect on the manufacturing sector.},
