spec.coeff R Documentation
Compute the Hoover coefficient of specialization from regions - industries matrices
Description
This function computes the Hoover coefficient of specialization from regions - industries matrices. The higher the coefficient, the greater the regional specialization. This index is closely related to the Krugman specialisation index.
Usage
spec.coeff(mat)
Arguments
mat
An incidence matrix with regions in rows and industries in columns

Examples
## generate a region - industry matrix
set.seed(31)
mat <- matrix(sample(0:100,20,replace=T), ncol = 4)
rownames(mat) <- c ("R1", "R2", "R3", "R4", "R5")
colnames(mat) <- c ("I1", "I2", "I3", "I4")
## run the function
spec.coeff (mat)
