1 The relative size cutoff points are calculated for 1970 city size distribution to be divided into five cells containing approximately 35%, 30%, 15%, 10% and 10% of all cities starting from the bottom.

2 High tech industry covers (i) Manufacture of machines and equipment of computer science (CNAE 30000), (ii) Activities of computer science - exclusive maintenance and clerical repairing of machines and computer science (CNAE 72010) and (iii) Maintenance of machines clerical and computer science (CNAE 72020).

The first column reports the measure of industry concentration, _Gj_ of each 2-digit level industry _j_ .

Industry concentration is relatively low for “ubiquitous” industries which are hard to transport and available in many places. Food and beverage manufacturing (0.0042), Metal products 20
