Abstract
This paper explores the spatial location patterns of firms in different
sectors of the Mexican manufacturing industry. The analysis is carried
out using a continuous spatial statistic approach by employing a K-
function for each sector that is then compared to a Complete Spatial
Randomness (CSR) distribution and other relevant benchmarks. We
show that Mexican manufacturing follows a bimodal distribution and
significant spatial concentrations are present for all manufacturing sec-
tors at different distances. However, using the spatial distribution of
the complete set of manufactures as a point of reference, variations in
the spatial distribution are also found to exist.
