GAVIRIA-RIOS, Mario Alberto. EXTERNAL NETWORK ECONOMIES IN THE CITY SYSTEM OF THE COLOMBIAN COFFEE GROWING AXIS (EFE CAFETERO), 1996-2014. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.48, pp.105-125. ISSN 0120-6346. https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v21n48a4.
Traditionally, economic geography has associated agglomeration economies with the concentration of activities and population in cities. This paper aims at demonstrating the generation of these economies in a regional scale, choosing the city system of the Colombian coffee growing axis as spatial unit of analysis, and relying on a fixed effects panel exercise. Throughout the exercise, the presence of so-called external network economies was observed in the studied urban system. Therefore, networks make it possible for small cities to enjoy the advantages of agglomeration.
