Geography, Institutions and Regional Economic Performance, 2013 Advances in Spatial Science Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Crescenzi Riccardo, Percoco Marco

Couverture de l’ouvrage Geography, Institutions and Regional Economic Performance
The book aims to present ?traditional features? of regional science (as geographical concepts and institutions), as well as relatively new topics such as innovation and agglomeration economies. In particular it demonstrates that, contrary to what has been argued by recent economics literature, both geography and institutions (or culture) are relevant for local development. In fact, these phenomena, along with the movement of goods and workers, are among the main reasons for persisting development differentials. These intriguing relationships are at the heart of the analysis presented in this book and form the conceptual basis for a promising institutional approach to economic geography.

Space, Growth and Development.- Institutions and Culture.- Agglomeration Economies, the Location of Economic Activities and Innovation.- Geography in Motion: Trade, FDI and Migrations.
