The article explores how industries are concentrated in Jiangsu, China, using detailed data from companies. They found that most industries are clustered in the southern part of Jiangsu, with chemical industry being more spread out. These clusters are usually small, covering less than 2.5 km and containing a significant portion of companies and employees. Larger clusters are less concentrated. This study combines different methods to understand industrial concentration in the region.
