abstract = {This study analyses relative sectoral specialisation of EU regions on the basis of investment
and employment patterns. Controlling for heteroscedasticity and potential endogeneity in the
econometric analysis, we find that relative specialisation in manufacturing sectors is higher in
central regions. Relative specialisation in services sectors, instead, is stronger in
administrative centres as well as peripheral regions. A higher local level of sectoral
economies of scale and of productivity strongly increases relative investments in
manufacturing sectors. Lower (higher) regional labour costs attract, in particular, higher
relative employment shares in labour-intensive (human capital-intensive) sectors.},
