DESCRIPTION:We combine data from occupational and business censuses of the
  Habsburg Empire to examine the spatial concentration of manufacturing bef
 ore World War I. We map industry location in 50 regions across 13 industri
 es\, differentiating employment in factory industry from handcrafts. We es
 tablish that industries dominated by factory employment were spatially con
 centrated\, while craft industries were spatially diffused. Using occupati
 onal data for almost one thousand districts\, we find that local agglomera
 tion effects and path dependency were more important industry location det
 erminants than market access. Exploiting different spatial units\, we demo
 nstrate in an historical context the relevance of the modifiable unit area
  problem.
