Industrial Symbiosis in Puerto Rico: Environmentally Related Agglomeration Economies
Abstract
Chertow M. R., Ashton W. S. and Espinosa J. C. Industrial symbiosis in Puerto Rico: environmentally related agglomeration economies, Regional Studies. Industrial symbiosis, a sub-field of industrial ecology, examines the flow of water, energy, materials, and by-products across firms in geographic proximity. Environmentally related co-location benefits often result that have not been a focus of traditional agglomeration economies, but extend the basic theory. This paper conceptualizes the relationship between agglomeration economies and industrial symbiosis, finding that many negative environmental externalities can be reduced while increasing production efficiency. Four industrial regions of Puerto Rico, all with agglomeration economies, but only two with significant industrial symbiosis, highlight the contribution of symbiosis and how it can influence both static and dynamic agglomeration economies. Chertow M. R., Ashton W. S. et Espinosa J. C. Symbiose industrielle à Porto Rico: économie d'urbanisation liée à l'environnement, Regional Studies. La symbiose industrielle, sous domaine de l'écologie industrielle, examine les flux d'eau, d'énergie, de matériaux et de sous-produits entre entreprises voisines. Les avantages de la co-occupation présentent souvent des résultats qui n'ont pas été au cœur des économies d'urbanisation classiques mais qui prolongent cette théorie de base. Cet article conceptualise les relations entre les résultats de l'économie d'urbanisation et ceux de la symbiose industrielle selon lesquels de nombreux effets externes environnementaux négatifs peuvent être réduits tout en augmentant la productivité. Quatre régions industrielles de Porto Rico, toutes dans des économies d'urbanisation mais dont deux seulement avec une symbiose industrielle significative, mettent en lumière la contribution de la symbiose et comment elle peut avoir une influence sur des économies d'urbanisation statiques et dynamiques.

Industriesymbiose in Puerto Rico: umweltbezogene Agglomerationswirtschaften, Regional Studies. Im Bereich der Industriesymbiose – einem Untergebiet der Industrieökologie – werden die Ströme von Wasser, Energie, Materialien und Nebenprodukten zwischen Firmen innerhalb eines geografischen Bereichs untersucht. Ein häufiges Resultat sind umweltbezogene gemeinsame Standortvorteile, die bisher nicht im Mittelpunkt der traditionellen Agglomerationswirtschaften standen, sondern die Grundtheorie erweitern. In diesem Beitrag wird die Beziehung zwischen Agglomerationswirtschaften und Industriesymbiose konzeptualisiert, wobei festgestellt wird, dass sich zahlreiche negative Umweltexternalitäten bei gleichzeitiger Erhöhung der Produktionseffizienz reduzieren lassen. Anhand von vier Industrieregionen in Puerto Rico – alle mit Agglomerationswirtschaften, aber nur zwei mit signifikanter Industriesymbiose – wird der Beitrag der Symbiose hervorgehoben, und es wird verdeutlicht, wie sich die Symbiose auf statische und dynamische Agglomerationswirtschaften auswirken kann.

Simbiosis industrial en Puerto Rico: economías de aglomeración relacionadas con el medio ambiente, Regional Studies. En el ámbito de la simbiosis industrial – un subcampo de la ecología industrial – se examina el flujo del agua, la energía, los materiales y los subproductos en todas las empresas en proximidad geográfica. Los beneficios medioambientales de una ubicación común no han sido con frecuencia un enfoque de las economías de aglomeración tradicionales sino la ampliación de la teoría básica. En este artículo se visualiza la relación entre las economías de aglomeración y la simbiosis industrial, y se concluye que muchas externalidades medioambientales negativas pueden ser reducidas mientras que se aumenta la eficacia de la producción. Cuatro regiones industriales de Puerto Rico, todas con economías de aglomeración, pero sólo dos con simbiosis industriales significativas, recalcan la contribución de la simbiosis y cómo puede influenciar en las economías de aglomeración tanto estáticas como dinámicas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
