Endogenous Technological Change, Entrepreneurship and Regional Growth

Chapter 12 in Knowledge, Complexity and Innovation Systems, 2001, pp 228-247 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter builds on recent research by Ács and Varga (1999) which looked into the question why some regions grow faster than others.1 In this previous project, three distinct strands of literature were examined, each with a long and distinguished history: New Economic Geography (Krugman 1991b), New Growth Theory (Romer 1990), and the New Economics of Innovation (Nelson 1993a). The aspects investigated were the unit of analysis, how endogenous growth was modelled, and the interactions between the actors and institutions in innovation processes. The authors searched for insights that would help develop a clear analytical framework which integrates economic growth, spatial interdependencies and the creation of new technology as an explicit production process to formulate production-oriented regional policies (Nijkamp and Poot 1997).
