Sažetak
This manuscript examines tendency of Croatian manufacturing firms to spatially allocate close to each other in order to benefit from the agglomeration economies. Agglomeration economies are type of external economies that are beneficial to firm because of the spatial proximity to other firms. Here presented econometric analysis is focused on investigating the impact of agglomeration economies on the performance of Croatian manufacturing firms. Our analysis showed that both localization and urbanization economies have a positive effect on the performance of Croatian manufacturing firms. In other words, presence of both related (i.e. firms in the same manufacturing division) and unrelated firms leads to firm’s higher sales revenue.
