Spatial Knowledge Spillovers and the Dynamics of Agglomeration and Regional Growth
When considering the dynamics of regional growth rates, one usually observes growth convergence on spatial aggregates but non-convergence or even divergence within smaller regions of different type. This book suggests various approaches to investigate this puzzle. A formal model, merging approaches...
