Abstract
This paper examines structural properties, location dynamics, and economic performance of project-based industries and craft-like production from a historical perspective, based on the empirical cases of film production in Massachusetts and fashion design and production in New York City. Our comprehensive analysis has important implications for regional economic development, labor market policies and firm strategies.
