| description | This study evaluates how regional competitiveness and relevant properties of the manufacturing industry—i.e., size and rate of manufacturing firms—impact changes in the rate of business service firms. By employing fixed-effects regression models on a sample of 81 Costa Rican counties during 2010-2016, the findings reveal that the quality of the local environment positively affects business service specialization. Besides, manufacturing businesses contribute to increase in the rate of business services; however, this effect is only significant in counties with a greater manufacturing base, that is, in counties with a critical mass of manufacturers, in terms of number of manufacturers. |

By employing fixed-effects regression models on a sample of 81 Costa Rican counties during 2010-2016, the findings reveal that the quality of the local environment positively affects business service specialization.

Este estudio analiza el efecto de la competitividad regional y de las características relevantes de la industria manufacturera, cómo, el tamaño y la tasa de crecimiento de las empresas manufactureras, sobre la variación en la tasa de las empresas de servicios empresariales a nivel regional. El análisis empírico emplea modelos de regresión de efectos fijos (fixed-effects regression models) sobre una muestra de 81 cantones costarricenses para el período 2010-2016. Los resultados revelan que la calidad del entorno local (competitividad regional) afecta positivamente la especialización regional en empresas de servicios empresariales. Además, las empresas manufactureras contribuyen a aumentar la proporción de empresas de servicios empresariales; sin embargo, este efecto solo es significativo en cantones con una mayor base de empresas manufactureras, es decir, en cantones con una masa crítica de empresas manufactureras, en términos de la cantidad de empresas.
