Innovation and the Growth of Cities Zoltan J. Acs

This new and original book by Zoltan Acs explores the relationship between industrial innovation and economic growth at the regional level, and reaches conclusions as to why some regions grow but others decline. While the analysis draws on industrial organization, labor economics, regional science, geography and entrepreneurship, the book focuses on innovation and the growth of cities by the use of endogenous growth theory.

The author argues that industrial innovation is the driving force behind long-run regional growth, and explores the issues of how technology and entrepreneurship can foster and promote growth at the regional level.

With its multidisciplinary approach, Innovation and the Growth of Cities will be warmly welcomed by academics and researchers alike in the areas of innovation and science, regional science and geography, entrepreneurship and evolutionary economics.

Innovation and the Growth of Cities Bewertungen

'An extremely valuable tool for the student of innovation and regional development. The structure of the book - a collection of previously published articles and book chapters - offers a final result that, although organized around a common theme, comprises chapters that are independent from another. This allows the reader to concentrate on specific subtopics of interest. The book also has the advantage of offering a very good description of the methodology used to arrive at the results.'
