<!-- Abstract -->
Based on a representative study, the paper focuses on how
        frequent regional networking occurs, which firms cooperate in networks
        more often than others, and which benefits come with regional networks
        for participating firms. Extending the approach of earlier studies, the
        paper measures effects of regional networks by observing specific performance
        characteristics, immediately depending onto the networking activity. The
        empirical results show that networks offer synergies. Surprisingly, low-profit
        firms are particularly often engaged in regional networks.
