Kancs, D'Artis - 2010
This paper presents the new dynamic spatial general equilibrium (DSGE) model – RHOMOLO, which is built to support the EU policy design by undertaking holistic, micro-founded and disaggregated policy impact assessment. The RHOMOLO model is based on the theories of general equilibrium,...

Chapter 6. Agglomeration and Innovation
Carlino, Gerald; Kerr, William R. - In: Handbook of regional and urban economics : volume 5, (pp. 349-404). 2015
This chapter reviews academic research on the connections between agglomeration and innovation. We first describe the conceptual distinctions between invention and innovation. We then discuss how these factors are frequently measured in the data and note some resulting empirical regularities....

Internal structures and external connectedness : towards a typology of French clusters
Hussler, Caroline; Muller, Paul; Rondé, Patrick - 2015
In this explorative study, we adopt a knowledge-centred perspective on clusters and investigate whether clusters …' internal structure explains clusters' external (knowledge) collaborative strategies. All in all, the main analytical issue … underlying this paper is the following: do internal characteristics of clusters vary (among them), and do they have any influence …

Agglomeration, regional grants and firm location
Devereux, Michael P.; Griffith, Rachel; Simpson, Helen - 2004
We examine whether discretionary government grants influence the location of new plants, and how effective these incentives are in the presence of agglomeration and urbanisation externalities. We find evidence that regional industrial structure affects the location of new entrants. Firms in more...

Cities and clusters: Economy-wide and sector-specific effects in corporate location
Bottazzi, Giulio; Gragnolati, Ugo - 2010
Are the observed spatial distributions of firms decided mostly by market-mediated, economy-wide locational forces, or rather by non-pecuniary, sector-specific ones? This work finds that the latter kind of forces weight systematically more than the former in deciding firm location. The analysis...

Ex-ante regulation and ex-post liability under uncertainty and irreversibility : governing the coexistence of GM crops
Beckmann, Volker; Soregaroli, Claudio; Wesseler, Justus - 2009
Ex-ante regulations and ex-post liabilities for using a new technology will induce additional costs for adopters. The standard model is advanced by including irreversibility and uncertainty and taking into account transaction costs of negotiating possible cost reductions. The case analysed is...
