Abstract:	摘要： As China adopts a government-supported agglomeration model to develop high-tech industries, it is crucial to examine whether the spatial concentration of manufacturing and R&D activities enhance firm-level productivity. Based on a panel dataset of Chinese electronics firms from 2005 to 2007, the calculated Ellison–Glaeser (EG) index indicates that both production and R&D activities are highly spatially concentrated. Crucially, we find that production agglomeration has a positive relationship with firms' productivity, especially for smaller firms. In contrast, R&D agglomeration seems to negatively relate with productivity. It implies that the possible congestion effect and/or free rider problems erode the benefit derived from knowledge spillovers. •We examine the influences of spatial and R&D agglomerations on firm productivity.•The dataset used in a panel data of Chinese electronics firms•The calculated EG indexes of production and R&D are highly spatially concentrated.•Production agglomeration has a positive relationship with productivity.•R&D and R&D agglomeration are positively and negatively related to productivity. 出版者： Elsevier Inc 出版日期： 2013-12-01 出處： China Economic Review, 2013-12, Vol.27, p.162-178 版權： 2013 識別號： ISSN: 1043-951X 識別號： EISSN: 1873-7781 識別號： DOI: 10.1016/j.chieco.2013.09.005
