The authors provide the first theoretical analysis of a one-sector, discreet-time, Schumpeterian model of growth in a regional economy in which consumers are risk neutral, there is no population growth, monopolistic entrepreneurs produce intermediate goods, and a single consumption good is...

The environment, thought of broadly, is increasingly an important topic in regional science research. Theoretical and empirical inquiries by regional scientists have gradually begun to address the numerous environmental ramifications of regional science queries. Consequently, there now exists a...

The environment, broadly construed, is increasingly a salient topic in regional science research. Theoretical and empirical inquiries by regional scientists have progressively begun to address the manifold environmental ramifications of regional science questions. As such, there now exists a...

The purpose of this introductory chapter is twofold. First, the chapter provides an overview of some key economic themes in contemporary times and the spectacular rise of Asia. Next, the chapter provides an overview of the twelve remaining chapters that comprise this book. These chapters address...

We provide the first theoretical analysis of a one-sector, discrete-time, Schumpeterian model of growth in a regional economy in which consumers are risk neutral, there is no population growth, monopolistic entrepreneurs produce intermediate goods, and a single consumption good is produced...

An increasing amount of research is now being conducted on topics at the interface of regional science and the environment. This research is both theoretical and empirical and the broad objective of this research is to analyze the numerous environmental implications of problems in regional...

We study the effects of learning by doing resulting from the production of a final good on economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. Firms in this region use creative and physical capital to produce output. We model learning by doing formally and our analysis...

We analyze a two-period signaling model in which a representative entrepreneur in a regional economy has a project that generates a random cash flow and that requires investment that the entrepreneur raises from a competitive market. The project's type is known to the entrepreneur but not to the...

We use a dynamic model to study the effects of technology and learning on the long run economic growth rates of a leading and a lagging region. New technologies are developed in the leading region but technological improvements in the lagging region are the result of learning from the leading...

We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...
