  • - Human Capital, Precarity and the Creative Economy
    af Roberta Comunian
    799,95 kr.

    To date, research into urban economics, regional science and economic geography has predominantly focused on the firm and industry as the key units of analysis in order to understand economic development;

  • - Analytical Tools and Public Policies
    af André Torre & Frederic Wallet
    750,95 kr.

    The text addresses the question of the disputed notions and definitions of rural development in rural and regional studies, examines the literature of regional and territorial development and the policies of regional development and planning.

  • - Panacea or Pipedream?
    af Daniel Hardy & Andres Rodriguez-Pose
    657,95 kr.

    Industrial and technology parks are commonly regarded as a policy panacea. It is argued that although some parks have been successful in addressing a range of key problems, including underdevelopment, unemployment and a lack of investment, the majority have failed to deliver, rendering the promise of many parks little more than a pipedream.

  • - Models, Methods and Techniques
    af Manfred M. Fischer & Jinfeng Wang
    795,95 kr.

    The availability of spatial databases and widespread use of geographic information systems has stimulated increasing interest in the analysis and modelling of spatial data.

  • af Daniel P. McMillen
    794,95 kr.

    Quantile regression analysis differs from more conventional regression models in its emphasis on distributions. A series of examples using both simulated and actual data sets shows how readily seemingly complex quantile regression results can be interpreted with sets of well-constructed graphs.

  • - From Cross-Sectional Data to Spatial Panels
    af J. Paul Elhorst
    798,95 kr.

    This book provides an overview of three generations of spatial econometric models: models based on cross-sectional data, static models based on spatial panels and dynamic spatial panel data models.

  • af Marco Percoco
    610,95 kr.

    The evaluation of public policies is of paramount importance for modern policy making, especially in a period of severe budget constraints.

  • - The Role of Governments, Firms and Universities
    af Marco Ferretti & Adele Parmentola
    664,95 kr.

    This book deals with the creation of local innovation systems (LIS) in emerging countries. Special attention is paid to the manner in which different leading actors implement their LIS development strategies. The book presents detailed case studies on different strategies used to implement LIS in Singapore, Dubai, Taiwan and Iran.

  • af Patricio Aroca
    467,95 kr.

    Presenting case studies on Brazil, Chile and Mexico, the authors examine the co-movement of regional business cycles as well as the differing responses of regional economies to external shocks due to regional characteristics such as availability of natural resources, and the degree of integration into national and global markets.

  • - Comparing National Economic Development Trajectories
    af Du Huynh
    558,95 kr.

    This book analyses and compares the development paths of five major cities in East and Southeast Asia since the early 1960s, including Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Manila, Seoul, and Shanghai.

  • - A Spatial Econometric Perspective
    af Rita De Siano
    571,95 kr.

    The book illustrates the use of spatial econometric models to analyze the economic resilience of regions to climate-related shocks. Although climate change is a global externality, climate anomalies can trigger locally disruptive shocks, whose adverse effects on economic growth are transmitted through neighbouring relationships (based on geography, trade, or technological bonds). After laying out the theoretical case for spatial analysis in the study of economic resilience, the book introduces spatial econometric models, their estimation and testing procedures, as well as applications of spatial econometrics in various domains. It then reviews the current literature on the role of space in the propagation of climate shocks, and discusses how adaptation and mitigation policies can leverage spatial dependencies, with a special focus on renewable energy technologies and agricultural productivity. It appeals to scholars of regional and spatial sciencesand econometrics as well as those interested in the spatial effects of climate and environmental shocks.

  • af Tomasz Kijek, Anna Matras-Bolibok & Arkadiusz Kijek
    390,95 kr.

    This open access book explores the role of innovation in technological convergence processes in the EU regional space and shifts the focus from absolute and conditional income convergence to technological convergence and its determinants. Presenting new theoretical and empirical evidence on the determinants and trajectory of the EU region¿s development and convergence, this book will appeal to scholars of economics and regional science, as well as practitioners and policymakers interested in the policy implications of regional technological convergence. The presented findings will also contribute to the development of the knowledge-based economy paradigm in the regional context.This is an open access book.
