Advanced Introduction to Regional and Urban Economics

Author:

Roberta Capello, Politecnico di Milano, Italy

Edward Elgar Publishing 2023

About the book

Expertly crafted and interdisciplinary in scope, Roberta Capello’s Advanced Introduction navigates the extensive discipline of regional and urban economics. Adopting a diachronic perspective, She explores the evolution of various theoretical approaches and novelties, covering theories of location, regional growth, and local development, whilst explaining the many ways in which space influences economic activity.

Handbook of Innovation and Regulation

Editors:

Pontus Braunerhjelm, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden

Martin Andersson, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden, President of ERSA Nordic

Knut Blind, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

Johan E. Eklund, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden

Edward Elgar Publishing 2023

About the book

The Handbook of Innovation and Regulation embraces some of the key policy areas such as the regulation of markets, critical sectors, and global and regional aspects, focussing particularly on those regulations which target innovation. Reviewing these often interconnected policy areas in terms of both macroeconomic and microeconomic issues, this Handbook expertly studies how regulations in differing fields can affect innovative activities. By placing innovation centre stage, the contributors emphasise the direct and indirect effects of imposed regulations. Further, they illustrate the critically important overall impact of innovation to make firms competitive, promote economic growth and increase societal welfare.

RSAI World Congress - Last CFP

Dear RSAI members,

we hope all is well with you and your families.

We are writing you for a last reminder on the pending final deadline for submitting your abstracts for presentation at the RSAI World Congress, Kecskemét, Hungary, Apr. 8-11, 2024.

The final deadline for submitting your abstracts is due Dec. 31, 2023. After this date, the portal for submissions will close and a second and last round of revisions will be sent out to scientific committee members for their opinions on the fit of your works for the congress. Acceptance letters will be sent out within mid January, and once the roster of papers will be final, we will gladly move to organize what we promise to be an exciting scientific program, with 5 excellent keynotes (https://regionalscience.org/2024RSAIcongress/index.html), progressive rates (https://regionalscience.org/2024RSAIcongress/registration.html), and generous support for members hailing from low and lower-middle income Countries (https://www.regionalscience.org/index.php/programs/building-bridges.html).

Please do not forget to register once your paper is accepted.

Thank you in advance for your attention,

We both look forward to seeing you in Kecskemét!

THE WORLD OF REGIONAL SCIENCE

Dear regional science colleague:

We have decided to compose a unique volume which summarizes the ‘world of regional science’ in the form of an Encyclopedia. This major opus seeks to become a kind of ‘Wikipedia’ for regional scientists. It will comprise of an organized collection of hundreds of entries on concepts, theories, methods and applications. Each item will contain about 1000 words, written according to a systematic pre- determined format.

This work aims to become some sort of collective and shared body of knowledge in our field. Several hundreds of regional scientists from all over the world have already committed themselves to write an item text, which does not take much time. At this moment we still have a vacancy for about 100 entries (see attached list). All regional scientists are cordially invited to write a concise entry on one of the selected topics, by writing before December 23, 2023 an expression of interest to the handling editor, Zeynep Elburz (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).    

You will then receive the necessary information.

We hope to make this joint effect a collective success for regional science.

The Italian Regional Science Association (A.I.S.Re), the Italian Section of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI), announces its XLV Annual Scientific Conference and welcomes contributions from researchers working on different disciplines in the field of regional science. The conference venue is Università degli Studi di Torino, Campus Luigi Einaudi, Lungo Dora Siena, 100A.

The central theme of the conference is the digital and circular transformation and the new opportunities and challenges emerging from these radical changes for regions and cities. Despite the large commitment and investments envisaged by the PNRR, the adoption of the new digital technologies remains weak and highly unbalanced across businesses and territories, with the risk of worsening the territorial gaps between North and South as much as between centers and peripheries, and of postponing the much desired, and increasingly necessary, relaunch of productivity. The transition towards a circular economy, made compelling by the climate crisis, has found a further obstacle in the rapid and unexpected growth of inflation, and in particular in the sharp increase in energy prices, especially following the explosion of the conflict in Ukraine. The combination of these factors depict a new, more complex and changing scenario in which the future of the territories must be framed and appropriately rethought, in order to make the best of the vast possibilities offered by the PNRR, already in the early stages of implementation. The conference aims to represent an opportunity for reflection and discussion on the determinants and consequences of the digital and circular transformation underway in the various territories, as well as on the governance policies and structures which, in a context of greater political and economic uncertainty and turbulence, can better initiate and/or facilitate the transition towards a phase of renewed growth of the country and its regions and cities.

Besides the main theme, the A.I.S.Re conference encorauges the discussion on the major topics in regional science. Thus, the A.I.S.Re invites all those interested to present original scientific works on the following themes:

  1. Governance, regional and territorial public policies, European programming
  2. Growth, decline, and regional disparities
  3. Globalization, value chains and local production systems
  4. Methods of territorial analysis and spatial econometrics
  5. Labor, welfare, personal services and social policies
  6. Tourism, culture and local development
  7. Urban planning, real estate market and city development processes
  8. Infrastructure, transport, mobility and local development
  9. Wellbeing, sustainability, and local development
  10. Urban development and agglomeration economies
  11. Development and local entrepreneurship
  12. Innovation, creativity and local development
  13. Policy evaluation methods

HOW TO JOIN THE CONFERENCE
