Title: Agglomeration, accessibility and industrial location: evidence from spanish municipalities
Abstract: This paper deals with the location decisions of manufacturing firms in Spain. We analyse how 
	agglomeration economies and transport accessibility influence the location decisions of firms at 
	municipality level and in three industries. The main empirical contributions of this paper are the 
	econometric techniques used (spatial econometric models) and some of the explanatory variables 
	(local gross domestic product, road accessibility, and the characteristics of firms in neighbouring 
	municipalities). The results show that agglomeration economies and accessibility are important in 
	industrial location decision-making.
