Abstract:
|
We analyse the determinants of firm entry in developing countries using Argentina as
an illustrative case. Our main finding is that although most of the regional determinants used in
previous studies analysing developed countries are also relevant here, there is a need for
additional explanatory variables that proxy for the specificities of developing economies (e.g.,
poverty, informal economy and idle capacity).We also find evidence of a core-periphery pattern
in the spatial structure of entry that seems to be mostly driven by differences in agglomeration
economies. Since regional policies aiming to attract new firms are largely based on evidence
from developed countries, our results raise doubts about the usefulness of such policies when
applied to developing economies.
