In this article, I reassess the undeserved reputation of Inditex�s Zara as a �home-sewn exception to globalization� for supposedly keeping manufacturing at home despite larger trends; and I use the occasion to make a case for rigorous, evidentially strong single-firm case studies. In the process, I draw attention to the manner in which the value-adding qualities of scholarly work…

We document the spatial diffusion of Friedrich Froebel�s radical invention of kindergartens in 19th-century Germany. The first kindergarten was founded at Froebel�s birthplace. Early spatial diffusion can be explained by cultural proximity, measured by historical dialect similarity, to Froebel�s birthplace. This result is robust to the inclusion of higher order polynomials in ge…

This article examines home bias in U.S. domestic trade in 1949 and 2007. We use a unique data set of 1949 carload waybill statistics produced by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and 2007 Commodity Flow Survey data. The results show that home bias was considerably smaller in 1949 than in 2007 and that home bias in 1949 was even negative for several commodities. We argue that the difference be…

We develop a method to screen for local cartels. We first test whether there is statistical evidence of clustering of outlets that score high on some characteristic that is consistent with collusive behavior. If so, we determine in a second step the most suspicious regions where further antitrust investigation would be warranted. We apply our method to build a variance screen for the Dutch gaso…

The empirical analysis draws upon the REGIO panel da…
