This paper aims to determine which reasons lead Software and Video games firms (SVE
hereafter) to locate in certain areas of Barcelona. This high-tech industry is a key industry
in developed economies mainly located in urban areas. To carry out this analysis, we use
SVE firm entries at neighbourhood level between 2011 and 2013 and a set of covariates
that capture neighbourhood characteristics (localization and agglomeration economies,
high-tech amenities, diversity, human capital and crime). Our results show that i) SVE
firms tend to choose locations with a high diversity and good high-tech amenities (e.g.
22@ district), ii) the importance of the localization and agglomeration economies, since
spatial spillovers are a key factor for this type of firms and iii) the role of the diversity in
the location process of these firms, since SVE firms choose places with a high diversity
of cultural and creative activity.
