abstract = {We study the location of various film-related services (such as camera rental, casting agencies
or pyrotechnic services), the main determinant of interest being the human capital specificity.
We show that firms which supply services with a lower firm specificity locate farther away
from one another, and argue that it can be concluded that the "poaching" argument (fear of
employees leaving for a competitor in large regional labour markets) has greater practical
weight than the Marshallian labour pooling mechanism},
