▼ From the broad overview of the cluster literature, the proposition emerges that the manipulation of regional economic structural and cluster factor conditions within a geographically proximate region can translate into sustainable regional economic growth outcomes. As a first step in exploring this research, a theoretical framework for the conceptualisation of industry clusters was established and a methodological framework applied to statistically identify major manufacturing value chain clusters in the Eastern Cape Province. This methodology combines a strength-of-linkage measure for all pairs of supply and use sectors (as revealed in the systematic analysis of intermediate purchasing and sales patterns in the South African Final Supply and Use Tables: 2002) with the application of Ward’s hierarchical cluster algorithm to map the national benchmark value chain clusters in the South African national economy. The ensuing national value chain benchmark cluster framework was then transposed to the Eastern Cape Province to reveal cluster concentrations and gaps that exist in the value chain clusters in the province. The methodology applied in this study provides an objective and clear perspective of inter-industry linkages in the South African economy and produces more detailed and evenly distributed clusters than traditional cluster identification methodologies. Secondary linkages were determined for each of the twenty-six core value chain clusters to depict the diversity of sectors linked to the respective core clusters. In transposing the national benchmark value chain cluster framework onto the Eastern Cape Province economy, a number of distinct advantages emerge. Firstly, it reveals gaps in value chain cluster groupings that may be filled through industry recruiting or regional business development strategies. However, not all industries absent from value chain clusters in the region are equally attractive for recruitment. Henceforth, the number of direct and indirect linkages to industries absent from the Eastern Cape Province serves as a measure of their relative attractiveness when considering their recruitment into the region. vi The benchmark value chain cluster framework alone does not explain which agglomeration externalities are generated and exploited within each cluster, but it served as the overarching framework for the remainder of the research. Accordingly, the value chain cluster framework was applied to evidence whether specialisation, competition or diversity (represented by MAR, Porter and Jacobs economies respectively) is the operative mechanism in generating cluster growth in the Eastern Cape Province. Since agglomeration externalities are not directly observable, construct-valid indicators for the various externalities, as well as appropriate mechanisms to empirically assess the statistical relevance of MAR-, Porter and Jacobs economies in stimulating cluster growth, were established. This thesis added to agglomeration literature by disaggregating the standard measure of diversity externalities…

▼ Paper 1:
The changing landscape of
regional economic development practice: Findings from a survey of
regional economic development organizations in US metropolitan areas
Regional-scale
economic development practice has evolved considerably in the past few decades. The change has been influenced by trends in
regional governance of many policy spheres, particularly the expanding role of the private sector. It has also been driven by federal support for a private sector voice in
regional organizations in
economic development and related fields like workforce
development. As a result,
regional economic development policy is shaped by organizations that differ considerably from the
regional councils and
regional planning districts that characterized the organizational landscape a few decades ago. Because this new generation of organizations, whose members are variously called “
regional partnerships for
economic development” or “
regional marketing partnerships,” was created outside of formal government, no systematic national census of them exists.
This paper presents the results of a census and survey of such organizations, only the second of its kind and the first in over a decade. The data show that the number of such organizations continues to grow, to the point where they exist in nearly every metropolitan area over a certain size. The data also show that while their focus remains marketing and attraction efforts, the organizations engage in a wide range of activities including workforce
development, local policy advocacy, business retention, and various collaborative efforts with other
regional partners. It also shows that the organizations take widely varying forms involving different relationships between the public and private sector, and that their association with a particular geographic scope, and sometimes their very existence, is fluid and for some continuously negotiated.
Though only a first look at
regional economic development organizations, this paper makes several important contributions. First, it proposes and implements a method of identifying the organizations that might be repeated at specific intervals in order to track the existence of them over time and by place. Second, it presents an updated picture of such organizations in terms of basic factors like size, budget, and frequency. Third, it shows that considering the organizations only as “
regional marketing partnerships” suggests on overly narrow view of them given the many activities in which they engage and their expanding role in
regional economic development policy.
Paper 2:
Equal parts location quotients and press releases: the results of a cross-sectional survey of cluster-based
regional economic development efforts in the US

economic development practice. More recently, the debate around cluster-based
economic development practice has broken along similar lines. Clusters are understood as either a critically…

▼ The thesis focuses on the question of regional economic development of the part of Russia with unique location within EU territory – the region of Kaliningrad. The small territory has a relatively short but eventful history as a Russian exclave. The region has been facing numerous challenges in its development owing to the region’s detachment from the mainland. In addition to this, the location between two major players on European arena – the EU and the RF – defined particular political significance of the region. Complexity of Russia– EU relationship is reflected in their ways of perception and treatment of the region. The objectives of the work are to understand specifics of development of small territories surrounded by other states and to define challenges the territories have to tackle; to apply theoretical findings for analyzing a specific case of the detached part of Russia and to identify future prospects for the Kaliningrad region. The main findings of the work include several future prospects for the Russian region of Kaliningrad in the view of its specific geopolitical position which implies intricate combination of such factors as EU–Russia relationship, WTO expansion, energy prices and globalization among others.

▼ Between 1999 and 2007, a series of infrastructure improvements were completed at the Port of Brunswick, Georgia, in order to increase cargo capacity at the port. This paper looks at the port for indications of
economic development generated through this infrastructure investment. Infrastructure improvements impact Georgia's economy by making additional cargo throughput possible through the Port of Brunswick by enabling larger cargo vessels to access the port. Additional cargo traffic generates
economic opportunity by creating jobs to handle, move, sell and produce this new cargo volume. This analysis investigates what the infrastructure improvements accomplished in terms of improved port operations, what measurable impact they have had on throughput at the port, and associates these changes with
economic gains for the State of Georgia.
Primary research is used to determine exactly what infrastructure projects were undertaken and how each impacted the port in terms of operations, actual new business and potential growth. This data on increased cargo volumes, realized and potential, is translated into statewide
economic impact through existing data on how port traffic affects
economic indicators such as output, gross state product, income and employment.
The infrastructure improvements created measurable gains at the Port of Brunswick in terms of increased cargo volumes and new business contracts. The effect through the State of Georgia is much greater when
economic multipliers are considered.

▼ Regional integration can refer to the trade unification between different states by partial or full abolition of customs tariffs on trade taking place within the borders of each state. This is meant in turn to lead to lower prices for distributors and consumers (as no customs duties are paid within the integrated area) and the goal is to increase trade. (
Economic integration,1950, p66) According to Mattli (1999, p.42), the analysis of the first problem takes the decision to adopt an integration treaty as a given, and is primarily concerned with identifying the condition under which the process of integration is likely to succeed or to fail. Implementation of an agreement by heads of states to tie the economies of their countries closer together entails a lengthy process of establishing common roles, regulations, and policies that are either based on specific treaty provisions or derived from general principles and objectives written into the integration agreement.
Regional integration can be applied for varying forms of
economic co-ordination or co-operation amongst different neighbouring states, there will however always be different political agendas in the process. If there is a treaty amongst member states, this treaty has to be enforced or it may result in the
development of differences. “In order to address national priorities through
regional action most member states had been allocated the responsibility of co-ordinating one or more sectors. This involved proposing sector policies, strategies and priorities, and processing projects for inclusion in the sectoral programme, monitoring progress and reporting to the council of Ministers”. (Department of International Relations & Co-operation, Republic of South Africa). Richard Baldwin, Daniel Cohen, Andre Sapir and Anthony Venables argue that, using the same basic model as Bond and Sypropoulos (1996a), they consider trigger strategies such that initially there is inter-bloc free trade supported by the threat of perpetual trade war if any party breaks the agreement.
Regional integration can be understood as the process of providing common rules, regulation, and policies for a region.
Regional integration is defined as a process that allows member states to have access to each other’s markets on a voluntary basis and at various degrees.
Economic, political, social and cultural benefits are realised from this interaction. (Lee MC, 1999, p30)
Regional integration can be seen as co-operation in a broader context but can also be an important framework, through programmes within each
regional bloc. According to (Keet ,2005,p22) since the birth of democratic South Africa,
regional co-operation is also seen – in addition to the broader African aims-to be an important framework, through programmes within the Southern African
Development Community (SADC), within which to address the gross imbalances created both within and between the economies of the region.
Regional integration has become a way of assisting the emerging economies to be able to use their proximity to align…

▼ Theories of economic growth have long recognized that the majority of growth results
from endogenous changes in technology that emerge from the profit motivated
development of new knowledge. However, recent theorizing has suggested that the
creation of knowledge in and of itself does not directly or immediately translate into
changes in technological productivity as it must first be actively converted from concept
into means of production. These developments have lead to spatially interdependent
models of economic growth that are based not only on the development of knowledge but
also on the commercialization and diffusion of it. This dissertation seeks to empirically
examine some of the key propositions of these new theoretical models. Specifically, the
relationship between productivity and entrepreneurship will be scrutinized with respect to
the technological frontier. As well, the concept of regional psychological capital will be
probed as an explanation for the proclivity of entrepreneurial activity in certain regions.

▼ This research explored how leaders from a mid-range university, industry, and government described collaborative efforts to enhance regional economic development. This study found that a mid-range university can effectively collaborate with industry and government to advance regional economic development. The collaboration of university-industry-government partners to pursue regional economic development initiatives was facilitated and furthered by key factors and competencies that included proactive leadership of the university, a competency of planning, an understanding and acknowledgement of the value and importance of stakeholder engagement in developing a shared vision with stakeholders and collaborating partners, and an understanding and resolve that collaboration was in one's self-interest.; Universities that can improve and leverage their ability to collaborate with government and industry to impact regional economic development in an effective and efficient manner will become relevant and critical civic partners in their regions and states. Implications and recommendations for future research included considering the expansion of the triple helix to understand tripartite collaboration to advance regional economic development to a quadruple helix that includes the philanthropic sector, understanding the phasing of the stakeholder engagement processes from planning to execution and performance measurement, and the growing importance of resource leverage to initiative and sustain collaborative initiatives.

▼ PhD University of Hawaii at Manoa 1981
This study examines differences in the levels of regional development among the six regions (Capital, Kangwon, Ch'ungch'ong, Cholla, Kyongsang and Cheju) of the Republic of Korea from 1941 to 1976 and the possible factors which have created and perpetuated their differences, especially between the more developed Kyongsang region and the less developed Cholla region. It also investigates the ways in which the struggle for development in these two regions is affected by explicit economic and implicit political policies. Finally, the study recommends that development strategies aimed at reducing regional disparities be based on identifying and reversing these policies.
The variables employed in determining the level of regional development among six regions include demographic characteristics, productivity in primary and secondary sectors, the magnitude of infrastructural facilities, health facilities and educational attainment, and other financial conditions such as local taxes and bank deposits. Furthermore, the overall extent of regional disparities in the Republic of Korea is analyzed by Williamson's population-weighted coefficient of variation, using GRP per capita. Its overall magnitude of disparities converged during 1961-66, but subsequently diverged during 1966-76. Regional disparities between the Cholla region and the Kyongsang region have accelerated in terms of both the regions as a whole and within localities of the two regions, particularly since the early 1970s.
In the 1970s private investment variable was by far an important determinant in the level of regional development of the Kyongsang region and, to a lesser extent, of the Cholla region. During the 1960s, however, education played an important role in the Cholla region, but this was not significant in the Kyongsang region. While infrastructure was a crucial factor in explaining developmental changes in the Cholla region between 1971 and 1975, private investment was more important in the Kyongsang region during the same period. The regional dummy variables had little effect on the static models of regional development, but these had a somewhat significant effect on the dynamic models. Disparities in development between the two regions are thus attributable to both locational and structural conditions.
The Kyongsang region has rapidly developed as an industrial region, especially for manufacturing of export goods, in the Republic of Korea, along with the support of explicit economic and implicit political policies. In contrast, it appears that the Cholla region has not only received relatively little benefit of development but has also been comparatively neglected in recent industrial development. The implication is that explicit and implicit policies aimed at efficiency-oriented economic development through regional polarization cannot be successful without negative side effects. The efficiency goal, therefore, may not be compatible with the equity goal. It appears from the experience of the Republic of…

▼ O principal objetivo desta dissertação é analisar e discutir o processo de formação de pólos de crescimento e desenvolvimento regional e a evolução de alguns centros urbanos paranaenses como futuros pólos tecnológicos. Tomando como base uma amostra inicial de base demográfica de municípios com população entre 50 e 500 mil habitantes, foi refinada posteriormente para um aprofundamento dos municípios acima de 100 mil habitantes. Foram utilizados alguns indicadores como o consumo de energia por setor de atividade, número de empregos formais, PIB, valor adicionado, e também, a presença das instituições públicas ou privadas de ensino superior para identificar a infra-estrutura de cunho técnico-científico e a sua respectiva espacialização. Observou-se que a inovação, conceito utilizado atualmente nas pesquisas de desenvolvimento regional, foi um dos importantes fatores na definição e na correlação de características cujo desdobramento espacial é possível de ser verificado. Foi possível demonstrar que se observa um processo de formação e consolidação de um pólo tecnológico em Londrina, atestado pela presença de mais de uma centena de empresas que se agregam como um Arranjo Produtivo Local APL de Tecnologia da Informação TI, uma das importantes bases para o desenvolvimento tecnológico de Londrina.
This thesis´ main target is analyze and discuss the process of growth poles formation and regional development and the evolution of some urban centers of Parana as future technological poles. Taking like basis an initial sample of demographic basis of cities within population between 50 and 500 thousand inhabitants. Some indicators were used like energy consumption by activity sector, number of formal jobs, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), addicted value, and too, the presence of public or private institutions of superior teaching to identify the infrastructure of scientific and teaching basis and the respective geographic localization. It was observed that innovation, actually used concept in regional development researches, was one of important factors in definition and in the co-relation of characteristics is possible verified in geographic localization. It was possible to demonstrate that is observed a process of formation and consolidation of a technological pole in Londrina, confirmed by presence of more than a hundred of companies united in Local Productive Arrangement Information Technology LPA IT, one of important basis through technological development of Londrina.

▼ From 1980 to 2002, the U.S. prison population grew from 330,000 to 1,350,000 inmates.
To house these prisoners, hundreds of new prisons were constructed in non-metro
counties. Most communities accepted prisons on the promise of new jobs and the hope of
economic development, but little research has been done to determine the actual
economic development value these institutions provide to the rural counties where they
are located. In order to measure the impact of new prisons on the rural economy, this
research compares indicators of economic development between non-metro counties with
new prisons and similar non-metro counties without prisons. Prisons, as a public good,
are limited in their ability to stimulate economic development.

This dissertation is an effort to provide a new insight into the problem of regional development in remote areas under changing global and national political and economic conditions. It undertakes an assessment of shared economic histories, recent changes and future possibilities of socioeconomic prosperity and sustainability in marginal regions of Canada and Russia.
The first chapter re-examines the structure of Canada’s and Russia’s space-economies by evoking the concept of regional multichotomies and economic marginality. I consider whether outcomes, geographic patterns and spatial logics of regional differentiation in the two countries are similar and explore the evidence of similarity between the North(s).
Finding development outcomes in the Russian and Canadian North strikingly similar, the second chapter uses a combination of discursive analysis and regulation theory to re-interpret the origins of present-day problems and examine the genealogy of northern development. It argues that the Canadian and Russian northern development regimes shared profound commonalities. From these positions, the chapter compares and critiques past and present policies of regional development in the two Norths, and discusses their viability.
The third chapter dwells upon a concept of ‘development regimes’ to analyze and compare contemporary regional development policies. It further investigates how recent economic development policies in the two Norths are adapting to changing economic and political realities, and if they were able to deliver desirable results to northern communities. The chapter compares and critiques contemporary policies and discusses possible alternative perspectives that reconcile an emerging postcolonial paradigm of development and realities of post-Fordism. It introduces the notion of the neo-staple development regime and describes its manifestations (Impact and Benefit Agreements).
The fourth chapter presents a case for fostering knowledge based development and creative capital in the North. It builds on the innovation systems and institutional geography literatures to argue that the creative capital in the periphery is a pivotal factor of regional development. The chapter provides a conceptualization and empirical analysis of the creative class in remote regions. Contrary to the metropolitan bias, I argue that creative ‘hot spots’ beyond metropolis exist, and could become the centres of regional reinvention, if appropriate policies are introduced in support.

▼ While significant research has examined processes of knowledge production across space, less work has focused on understanding the dynamics of technological change within particular industries. Why do technologies emerge unevenly across space, and how does the evolution of particular knowledge trajectories enable growth in some cities, while constraining growth in others? To better understand these questions, this project uses the optics industry as a case study. Optics is the study of the behavior and transmission of light, and optics technologies have fueled breakthrough innovations in the fields of photography, medical imaging, defense and security, fiber optics and telecommunications, and many other areas. Using USPTO optics patents from 1976 to 2010 and methods drawn from social network analysis and community ecology, I map the evolution of the optics industry across time and space. I find that optics technologies evolve along distinct trajectories over time, and that those trajectories vary from one location to another. This uneven distribution of technologies has important implications for the development of cities and regions, and this research provides an important platform for future studies on the evolution of regional economies.

▼ China’s reform and transition have dramatically accelerated the socioeconomicdevelopment in the last three decades. At the same time, the unequal distributions ofwealth and social resources have been intensified. China’s regional inequality hasattracted more attention from both policy makers and researchers. The centralgovernment has listed “reducing regional inequality” as one important goal of nationaldevelopment. This dissertation research intends to quantify China’s regional developmentduring the reform era by detecting the multiscale variation of regional inequality,examining the spatial-temporal hierarchy and influence of multimechanisms, andexploring one consequence of regional economic disparity.First, this project investigates China’s regional economic inequality from 1978 to2007. I analyze the multiscalar spatial patterns of economic disparities with Coefficientof Variation (CV), Gini Coefficient, and Theil Index, and explore the spatial-temporalhierarchy of multimechanisms and their specific influences on regional economy throughmultilevel modeling. The results reveal the significant role of municipalities for shapingthe spatial-temporal variation of China’s economic development, and indicate thesensitivity of regional inequality to spatial scale. The analysis also illustrates thatglobalization has become the prominent mechanism of China’s development in the recentdecade.Second, this study examines health care and health inequalities as an importantconsequence of an unbalanced regional economy. I apply Geographic InformationSystem (GIS)-based spatial statistical methods such as Coefficient of Variation andMoran’s I to detect spatial-temporal patterns of health care, and use multilevel regressionto examine the linkages between health care, mortality, and regional economic inequality.The analysis reveals that health care inequality is also sensitive to geographic scale, anddemonstrates that the concurrent transitions of decentralization, marketization,globalization, and urbanization in China have interactively contributed to health careinequality and mortality.Third, this research conducts a case study in a less investigated agricultureorientedinterior province, Henan Province. Such statistical and GIS methods as CV,Getis-Ord Gi*, and geographically weighted regression (GWR) are used to explore thedisparities in economic development and health care level as well as to examine theeffects of multiple transitions. The results uncover the significant core-periphery andurban-rural gaps in both economy and health care level.

▼ This dissertation's objective is to understand the constraints to
economic participation by indigenous Tanzanians living in and around current and/or future tourism destinations. Using qualitative methods, this study investigated local perceptions and involvement in tourism economies by comparing independent case studies in three destinations differing in land tenure. Fifteen village-based focus groups were employed in villages around Pangani District (Tanga Region), Amani Nature Reserve (Tanga Region), and Arumeru District (Arusha Region). The purpose of the village-based focus groups was to evaluate local access to physical, financial, human, social, and natural capital as a means to encourage
economic participation in the areas. The findings indicate that while positive perceptions of increased tourism as a means to reduce poverty are strong, local communities are not currently accessing the tourism market to increase their earnings. Moreover, limited access to physical, financial, and human capital are key concerns that need to be addressed especially in rural areas. In contrast, social capital and natural capital are found to be less of a constraint as Tanzanians believe that local decision making is participatory and conservations efforts across the country have improved farming yields and increased the quality of life.

▼ The American economy has undergone a change in recent decades, experiencing a shift away from the traditional industrial economy towards a knowledge-based economy that relies heavily on human capital. The importance of human capital to the economy has stimulated an interest in increasing the educational attainment of the nation's workforce. However, not only should the educational attainment be increased, but the types of education should match the skills needed for the twenty-first century economy. Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking have been identified as necessary in the ever changing economy. Entrepreneurship education has been encouraged for the purpose of equipping the future workforce with skills required today. Many studies have identified the importance of entrepreneurship education and have conducted extensive surveys of youth and business leaders. However, few studies of the teachers of entrepreneurship education courses have been conducted. This study uses statistical analysis and survey techniques to determine the characteristics of entrepreneurship programs for high school students, the perspectives of teachers on the challenges and outcomes of entrepreneurship education, and the possibility for establishing partners for an alliance for entrepreneurship education. The study determines that the role of equipping the future workforce with the skills it needs to succeed in the knowledge-based economy does not rest solely upon the educational system. Officials in
economic development agencies, workforce
development agencies, and education must come together to create an alliance for entrepreneurship education and ultimately for the future.

▼ This dissertation examines three aspects of how geography shapes the spatial distribution of
economic activity, aggregate productivity, welfare, and growth. In the first chapter, I present a dynamic model to examine the relationship between spatial frictions, city formation, and aggregate
development. In the model, a subset of locations endogenously specialize in innovative industries that are
subject to scale economies. This leads to the formation and
development of cities. Spatial frictions affect innovation, thus aggregate growth, by shaping the locations and sizes of cities. I take the model to historical U.S. data, and show that the model can quantitatively replicate the major patterns of 19th-century U.S. urban history. Then I quantify the effects of railroad construction and international trade on city formation and growth. Results indicate that railroads and trade were responsible for 23% and 1.4% of 19th-century U.S. growth, respectively.
The second chapter, coauthored with Klaus Desmet and Esteban Rossi-Hansberg, studies the relationship between geography and growth. We develop a dynamic spatial growth theory with realistic geography, and bring the model to data on the world economy. Then we quantify the gains from relaxing migration restrictions. Our results indicate that fully liberalizing migration would increase welfare more than three-fold and would significantly affect the evolution of particular regions in the world. We then use the model to study the effect of a rise in sea levels, and find that coastal flooding can have an important impact on welfare by changing the geographic-dynamic path of the world economy.
In the third chapter, I propose a model of
economic geography to investigate the effect of border changes on the spatial distribution of population. I decompose the total effect into a standard "local effect" related to the change in distance from borders, and a novel "global effect" related to centrality before the border change. The global effect is especially strong in economies with a dominant central region that is home to a large fraction of the country's population. Conforming to this prediction, I show that the global effect played an important role in the population reallocation in Hungary after border changes in 1920.

▼ Explicar os diferenciais do crescimento econômico de um país ou região é um dos principais desafios na economia. As últimas teorias de crescimento de Romer (1989) e Lucas (1988) deram enfoque a importância do capital humano no crescimento das regiões devido aos efeitos spillovers que favorecem o crescimento no longo prazo. Estes autores defendem que os agentes econômicos devem investir não apenas em capital físico, mas também em inovações e na acumulação de capital humano, conceito amplo de capital que merece ainda uma definição mais precisa. Estas novas teorias, que passaram a receber a designação Crescimento Endógeno fizeram emergir a discussão relativa a questões de diferenciais de crescimento regional, dado que dentro de um mesmo país podemos encontrar desigualdades acentuadas no que se refere à acumulação de capital humano e incentivos às inovações tecnológicas. Um dos fatores explicativos desta acumulação desigual de capital humano nas regiões brasileiras seria a elevada concentração de renda e a concentração de instituições de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento - P&D. A presente proposta objetiva a aplicação e o desenvolvimento teórico do modelo de crescimento endógeno com a adaptação de um modelo que contemple o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano - IDH. No modelo proposto o IDH será utilizado como um ponderador para as proxies de capital humano e trabalho não qualificado em cada região. O modelo será adotado e analisado nas cinco regiões do Brasil, com a finalidade de se comparar os diferenciais de crescimento regional.
Explaining the differentials of economic growth of a country or region is one of the main challenges in the economy. The latest theories of growth of Romer (1989) and Lucas (1988) have focused on the importance of human capital in the growth of the regions due to the spillovers effects that favor growth in the long term. These authors argue that the economic agents should invest not only in physical capital, but also in innovations and in the accumulation of human capital, broad concept of capital that still deserves a more precise definition. These new theories, which came to receive the designation Endogenous Growth did emerge the discussion related to the differential of regional growth issues, as within the same country we can find sharp inequalities concerning to the accumulation of human capital and to incentives for technological innovations . One of the explaining factors of this unequal accumulation of human capital in the Brazilian regions would be the high concentration of income and of Research and Development institutions R &D. This proposal aims the implementation and development of the theoretical model of endogenous growth with the adaptation of a model which includes the Human Development Index - HDI. In the model proposed HDI will be used as a weight to the proxies of human capital and unskilled labor in each region. The model will be adopted and analysed in five regions of Brazil, with in order to compare the differentials of regional growth.

▼ This research inquiry asked, "How can the District of Mission involve leaders in private industry in creating strategies to develop the local workforce and economy?" An action research approach was used to engage local employers and employment service providers in an inquiry in the District of Mission. This study drew upon literature on entrepreneurial leadership, job creation, social capital, and knowledge transfer. Two qualitative methods, in-depth interviews and a conversation café, were used to uncover the essential factors and conditions that facilitate entrepreneurial leadership and workforce
development on a
regional basis. These findings were triangulated against the experiences of exemplar entrepreneurs. The findings revealed that effective leaders cultivate a culture of high performance and that systems integration and personal relationships are key to entrepreneurial leadership and workforce
development. The recommendations enable people from diverse backgrounds to identify shared concerns and common interests to support community
economic development.

▼ This search, whose title is "The growth and socio-economic development of agribusiness cooperatives in the West of Parana State", presents a new methodology for analysis of cooperatives. Considering that these developments differ from any business because it was there is of principles and doctrines aspects that distinguish them from other companies, especially those related to the inter-cooperation and concern for the community. It arose from the assumption that "It is likely that the agribusiness cooperatives in the west of Parana state are suitable for strategic management of inter-cooperation for development, generating economic and social growth and contributing to regional economic development." The first analysis examined the relationships of inter-cooperation that these cooperatives have with each other. Subsequently, we examined their growth, considering the Gross Sales, Fixed Assets, Equity, increasing the number of cooperative members and employees, increase within the last ten years. Then there is the efficiency to manage the Capital, to calculate the Economic Value Added, to evaluate whether the cooperatives add value or destroy the capital of its members and financial independence, to know whether they have sufficient capitalization to cope with new investments without compromising its operating results. Finally, we sought whether the cooperatives contribute to the growth of the municipalities where they are located. With all these perspectives of analysis, it is concluded that the cooperatives should get tested for inter increase and improvements in its management to do with the new requirements of market competition, satisfying serve their members in a better way and contribute more to the growth of the communities in which they are inserted.
Esta pesquisa, cujo tÃtulo à âO Crescimento e Desenvolvimento SÃcio-EconÃmico das Cooperativas Agroindustriais do Oeste do ParanÃâ, apresenta uma nova metodologia de anÃlise de cooperativas. Considerando-se que estes empreendimentos diferem de uma empresa qualquer, pois existem os aspectos de princÃpios e doutrinas que as distinguem de outras empresas, principalmente aos que se referem à intercooperaÃÃo e à preocupaÃÃo com a comunidade. Partiu-se da hipÃtese de que âà provÃvel que as cooperativas agroindustriais do Oeste do Paranà estejam adequadas a uma gestÃo estratÃgica de intercooperaÃÃo para se desenvolverem, gerando crescimento econÃmico e social e contribuindo para o desenvolvimento econÃmico regionalâ. A anÃlise examinou primeiramente as relaÃÃes de intercooperaÃÃo que essas cooperativas mantÃm entre si. Posteriormente, examinou-se o crescimento delas, considerando o Faturamento Bruto, o Ativo Permanente, o PatrimÃnio LÃquido, o aumento do nÃmero de cooperados e de funcionÃrios, no perÃodo dos Ãltimos dez anos. Em seguida, verificou-se a eficiÃncia que possuem ao administrar o Capital Social, calculando-se o Valor EconÃmico Agregado, para avaliar se as referidas cooperativas agregam valor ou destroem o capital de seus cooperados e a independÃncia…

▼ This thesis investigates the impact of clustering on the development and operation of wine and tourism industries in Victoria, Australia. Specifically, the research analyses the structure and competitive strength of industry players, and highlights the importance of geographic co-location on their behaviour. In essence, this study examines micro-clusters in these regional industries to identify overlap and complementarity between them. The research focuses on three case studies based around geographic locations in Central and Western Victoria - Ballarat, Northern Grampians and Bendigo regions. "The primary aim of the study is to gain an understanding of the scope of wine and tourism micro-clusters and how they interact. [...] Generally speaking, this study develops and applies a framework that demonstrates the relevance of cluster theory as a regional development tool for scenarios that fucus on co-located clusters at a micro level, as opposed to the majority of research reported that focuses on the macro level."

▼ A dissertação visa identificar os entraves para a construção e a articulação do planejamento de desenvolvimento nacional e
regional no contexto das atribuições da União, como ente chave na construção do federalismo cooperativo. Parte da investigação da distinção das expressões crescimento e desenvolvimento, para compreender a noção de desenvolvimento nacional, como um dos fundamentos da República Federativa do Brasil. Delineia a noção de planejamento, de plano econômico e sua relação com o direito posto. Demonstra que o planejamento praticado nas economias de mercado visa promover a intervenção do Estado no domínio econômico e social, sem que isso signifique entrar em conflito com a democracia, a federação e a livre iniciativa. A Administração Pública, vista sob o prisma essencialmente técnico, dissociado do planejamento, comprova o anacronismo no setor público e a incapacidade de enfrentar as exigências do desenvolvimento. Aborda a regionalização, como forma de descentralização política, e expõe as experiências européias, com ênfase na autonomia
regional, na Espanha e Itália, objetivando identificar a posição da Região e a sua função nas respectivas estruturas de Estado européias. Analisa o modelo brasileiro de autarquia federal de desenvolvimento
regional. Apresenta a solução do art. 43 da Constituição Federal, ao prever a Região na estrutura administrativa da União, destinada a contribuir na a promoção do desenvolvimento e para a redução das desigualdades regionais. Conclui, com um enfoque crítico, sobre o ressurgimento da SUDENE, sem deixar de contextualizá-la com as políticas públicas do governo federal, a fim de verificar se houve a retomada do projeto de desenvolvimento
regional.

▼ This dissertation explores the emerging political economies of industrial policies undertaken at the subnational level in Brazilian cities since the mid-1990s, which became targets of economic development initiatives by the Federal government in the early 2000s. Contrary to the statist industrial policies of the post-World War II era, this new generation of industrial policies are implemented through collaborative relationships between private sector actors organized in governance networks made up of trade associations, labor unions, non-governmental organizations, and a constellation of public sector actors from all levels of government. Analyzing fourteen clusters in distinct industries in Brazil, this dissertation investigates these governance networks, and argues that their structure plays an important role in the implementation of subnational industrial policies. Specifically, I analyze the ways in which the motivation for forming such governance networks among entrepreneurs, local and state governments, and other actors lead to policies designed to generate developmental spillovers, or whether they are narrowly targeted towards a small segment of firms. Although the analysis focuses on regions within the peculiar case of Brazil, it draws insights from regions exhibiting a broad range of socioeconomic conditions, whose economies are driven by several different types of industries, and in which local and state governments vary widely in their capacity to implement their policy agenda. In this regard, the analysis provides insights to debates on economic development in other contexts; particularly middle-income countries where cluster-based policies have become fashionable in recent decades.

▼ Este trabalho analisa o processo de institucionalização de um tecnopolo em Londrina, e as mudanças na dinâmica territorial associadas a esse fenômeno, e, objetiva compreender, como ocorre essa inserção a partir da forma e função desse tecnopolo, avaliando e questionando suas intenções e ações neste centro e como ela vem sendo gerida pelos diversos agentes envolvidos. Coube avaliar inicialmente, o contexto geral das mudanças, dentre os quais, a existência de processos contemporâneos maiores, amplos e recentes, inferiores a 40 anos, relacionados à acumulação do capital e, que em virtude da crise geral do modelo de produção fordista na década de 1970, gerou a busca de elevação da produtividade, mais lucros e mais mercados consumidores, eclodindo com isso em novas formas de produção mais flexíveis, enxutas, dinâmicas, modernas, globalizantes, porém desiguais. Esses aspectos implicaram em processos de (re) estruturação produtiva e de um reordenamento territorial, a partir dos quais os territórios são fundamentais para a reprodução do capital, desde que ofereçam condições diferenciáveis para isso, e diretamente relacionados ao meio técnico-cientifico-informacional, sendo este último ponto, central para a diferenciação territorial, e base para uma maior articulação do Estado, do Capital (empresas + bancos) e Universidades. Uma das facetas desse novo periodo técnico-cientifico-informacional é o surgimento de Tecnopolos ou Polo de Tecnologias, diretamente relacionados a apropriação de novas formas de produção, mais baratas, mais flexíveis e sobretudo modernas e rápidas em âmbito interno e externo. O território passa a operar segundo o que ele pode oferecer a essas novas formas de articulação, sobretudo às empresas, daí a diferenciação dos territórios segundo sua especialização e fluidez. Londrina insere-se nesse movimento dos atuais circuitos espaciais da produção, apresenta condições diferenciadas e singulares, uma vez que tem bases históricas de (re) produção do capital materiais e, imateriais, para tanto, conta com um núcleo industrial, de serviços e acadêmico consolidado e, por possuir estruturas que dão suporte de sustentação à essas novas e modernas formas de produção e circulação.
This paper analyzes the process of institutionalizing a tecnopolo in Londrina, and changes in territorial dynamics associated with this phenomenon, and aims to understand how this insertion occurs from the form and function that tecnopolo, evaluating and questioning his intentions and actions in this center and how it is being managed by the various agents involved. It fell initially evaluating the overall context of the changes, among which the existence of more contemporary processes, extensive and recent, less than 40 years, related to capital accumulation, and that because of the general crisis of the Fordist model of production in the decade 1970, led the search for increased productivity, more profits and more consumer markets, thereby breaking out into new forms of more flexible production, lean, dynamic, modern, globalizing but…

▼ The first chapter of my dissertation uses a competition framework to reexamine the U.S. railway expansion from 1870 to 1890. Do reductions in trade costs increase the income levels of trading regions? The answer of most theoretical trade models is yes, and these models are used by policy-makers to justify investments in new transportation infrastructure to reduce trade costs. I reexamine this question by investigating the impact of the U.S. railway expansion from 1870 to 1890 on county economic growth. My main insight is that while the construction of a new transportation network can benefit a location by increasing producers' access to markets, it also can hurt a location by giving other locations a competitive edge. I derive and test empirically testable implications of the joint effects of market access and competition on economic outcomes from a multisector trade model. I find that on average more than 50% of the benefit of market access is offset by the negative effects of competition. Overall, I find that the expansion of railways increased agricultural land values by 20% to 40%, thus implying that railways explain 1% to 2% of 1890 GNP. My estimates of the impact of railways on American economic growth are lower than those of Donaldson and Hornbeck (2016) and closer to those of Fogel (1964).In the second chapter I study the effects of sector-specific productivity shocks on the distribution of production. The general-equilibrium trade model implies that the production in a certain location depends not only on its own productivity shocks but also on productivity shocks in competing locations. I derive several testable implications of the joint effects of one location's own productivity shock and productivity shocks in competing locations on the location's production. I test these implications by investigating the impact of the boll weevil in the early 20th century United States on the cotton belt's cotton acreage. I find (1) when few lands in the cotton belt were infested by the boll weevil, the presence of the boll weevil decreased the infested county's cotton acreage; (2) as the boll weevil expanded to more lands, the infested county's cotton acreage would gradually recover; (3) as the boll weevil expanded to more lands, cotton acreage in uninfested counties would increase. The movement of other economic outcomes which closely associated with the cotton production (such as corn acreage, total farm acreage, agricultural land value, population, and the tenancy system) mirrored the movement of the cotton acreage. My findings are in line with the argument that the boll weevil caused the internal shift in the cotton belt but rarely changed the whole cotton belt.In the third chapter, coauthored with Ming Gu, we discuss the long-run effects of the propaganda by the central government on people's preference formation. This link is taken as given but never proved in the previous literature. This paper examines the impact of government propaganda on people's attitudes towards gender equality in China, which imposes…

▼ Over the last decade, airports and aviation industries have suffered from the perception of an unhealthy and unnecessary industry. This is due to arguments about industry safety and
economic sustainability. The goal of this research is to debunk some of the negative perceptions of airports and. to show that airport growth is not only a good thing but public investment in the industry is justified. A case study of airport
development plans in Orange County, Florida shows that significant
economic benefits can come from public investment in airport
development. Analysis shows that airport related operations in Orange County are not only specialized but also hold a comparative advantage over the industry at the state and national level. These results indicate the health of the local industry while the overall national employment suffers.

▼ Cities are constantly looking to attract
economic development to create jobs and increase revenue within their jurisdictions. In turn, cities can use this increased tax base to improve the amenities and quality of life within the municipality. To attract this
economic development, cities often offer firms large tax breaks and incentive packages to assist in the location decision. Research shows that these methods have recently backfired with the communities, due to the primary focus on business rather than on improving the quality of life for residents. Research also reveals the growing impact of a community’s quality of life factors on a firm’s location decision-making process. Focusing on green space is one method of increasing the quality of life within a community and making it a more desirable among current and future residents. Taking into account the multitude of human and ecological benefits of green space, this study provides additional
economic justification of the importance and value of green space. By running correlation and regression models analyzing the number of firms located in a city and the percent of the population with at least a college degree in relation to park data and other
economic location variables, this study indicates green space is a viable
economic recruitment strategy for municipalities. The results indicate a causal relationship between percent of city land occupied by parks and the percent of population with at least a college degree—one of the main factors correlated with the location of firms. ( en )

▼ Abstract of Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Urban and
Regional Planning What Separates Us? A Study of Spatial
Economic Disparity in the United States and Germany By: Gabriel Jose De Jesus August 2010 Chair: Christopher Silver Member: Andres Blanco Major: Urban and
Regional Planning
Economic disparity is a growing problem in the United States. Understanding
economic disparity in a spatial context can help researchers and leaders understand what sectors of the economy are failing and which are successful in their region. The characteristics of this region such as population and land use controls could be affecting
economic productivity. For a community leader to write truly effective policy they must also understand the spatial aspects of their region this helps achieve social cohesion. What is economy telling us about the United States aptitude to reduce spatial
economic disparity? Germany has managed to reduce spatial income disparity throughout the period which is examined in this study. Examining the German economy, the researcher has been able to make recommendations the United States for future
development. Using Global Moran s I and Local Moran s I the researcher first examined both Germany and the United States for clustering or dispersion of income. After finding that the United States was leaning toward a clustered environment of unequal distribution and Germany was leaning toward a dispersed environment of more equal distribution, the Global Moran s I scores were regressed with the past performance of the selected
economic indicators. The regression results combined with
economic theory were used to draw conclusions about the performance of each country. The results of this study showed the growth of Global Moran s I scores in the United States from a random dispersion (0.033489) to a clustered dispersion (0.357683). In Germany the results of this study showed a decline in Global Moran s I scores from a clustered dispersion (0.605395) to a random dispersion (0.189717). The Global Moran s I scores were regressed with 13 variables. The most notable was a distinct decline in industry with an almost equivalent growth in services. Germany managed this transition quite well while the United States experienced adverse affects on spatial
economic disparity. Other conclusions of the study deal with population growth. Germany experienced manageable (0.5%) population growth during the period examined. Meanwhile the United States went through extreme growth in population (11%) without a commensurate growth in employment creating sectors which may have lead to the growth in spatial
economic disparity. After examining the growth in population much of this growth can be attributed to immigration. Immigration laws in the United States are a constant battle but should continue to be examined in an
economic context. ( en )
