Reflections on Local and Economy-Wide Effects of Territorial Competition

Chapter 10 in Regional Competition, 2000, pp 205-230 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract When countries offer favourable conditions for firms to prosper, such countries contribute to the competitive strength of these firms in local or global markets and, as has been commonplace since Porter (1990), these conditions may be referred to as the competitive advantage of the nations concerned. This competitive advantage is neither static nor immune to government policy. The same idea of competitive advantage can be applied to regions.
