Industrial Location in Developing Countries (2008, background): “Henderson, Lee, and Lee (2001) estimate scale economies using city-level industry data for 1983, 1989, and 1991 – 93. They find localization economies of up to 8 percent, with more modest economies in sectors that use predominantly standardized technologies and low-skilled workers.”
Urbanization and Growth (2005, methodology): “For Korea, as part of the deconcentration process noted earlier, Henderson, Lee, and Lee (2001) find that from 1983 to 1993, city specialization as measured by a normalized Hirschman-Herfindahl index 2( )j k jk jg s s= ∑ − (4) rises in manufacturing, while a provincial level index declines.”
Globalization in History: A Geographical Perspective (2001, background): “In a detailed study of Korea, Henderson et al. (2001) found that in the period 1983-93 these were comparable to US experience and that a doubling of an industry's size in a particular city implied a productivity increase of about 6 per cent.”
Agricultural sector and industrial agglomeration (2005, unknown): “Such deconcentration of industry into hinterlands has been highlighted for several developing countries like Korea (Chun and Lee, 1985 and Henderson et al. 2001), Mexico (Hanson, 1996) and Brazil.”
