Silicon Valley in California, the Research Triangle in North Carolina, and the Route 128

corridor near Boston. One explanation for this observation is that there are “synergies”

between the neighboring firms, which we can view as positive externalities based on our

firm may stimulate ideas for research on heart disease at a neighboring firm, perhaps as

employees change jobs over time or communicate with colleagues in other companies. Based

the development of such technology centers? If so, please briefly describe a few possible ways
