Résumé
The specialization patterns ofmetropolitan areas are crucial in characterizing the effects of economic integrationin Europe. This paper aims to provide and estimate an econometricmodel that explains both sectoral specializationand sectoral dissimilarity,measuredwith the GINI and the KRUGMAN indexes, respectively, for 35 Europeanmetro areas during the period 1980–2005. A semiparametric approach is proposed to address the issues of nonlinearityand separability. The econometric analysis indicates how the deepening of the processes of developmentand integration occurred in the last decades affected both specialization and similarity of the sectoral metropolitanstructure, finally supporting a “specializing alike hypothesis”
