The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the process of high tech firms clustering from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The theoritical analysis shows the effects of geographical and agglomeration factor on firms location decisions and demonstrates that critical mass and carrying capacity are crucial phenomena in the life cycle of the cluster. The empirical analysis measures the effects of scale versus agglomeration economies and of inter-industry synergy versus inter-cluster competition on the growth path of the cluster

Abstract
The paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the process of high tech firms clustering from a theoretical and empirical perspective. The theoritical analysis shows the effects of geographical and agglomeration factor on firms location decisions and demonstrates that critical mass and carrying capacity are crucial phenomena in the life cycle of the cluster. The empirical analysis measures the effects of scale versus agglomeration economies and of inter-industry synergy versus inter-cluster competition on the growth path of the cluster
