abstract: This Master’s thesis studies the effect of economies of agglomeration on rents of logistics real estate in Noord-Brabant. Economies of agglomeration may occur when same industry firms co-locate or cluster together in order to benefit from each other. These firms that cluster may experience a positive effect on their productivity due to economies of agglomeration. Three main sources are described which are labour market pooling, input sharing, and knowledge spillovers. In their own way, these sources can all effect logistics firms. In order to understand the implications of economies of agglomeration in the logistics sector, this paper tries to indicate and measure these economies in the province Noord-Brabant. The effects of economies of agglomeration are indicated and estimated by using multiple hedonic pricing models. Herewith, the effect of property/locational characteristics, infrastructural characteristics, and job concentration indices on the rents per square meter will be clarified.
