The case for regional development intervention: place-based versus place-neutral approaches*
TL;DR: In this article, the debates regarding place-neutral versus place-based policies for economic development are examined in the context of how development policy thinking on the part of both scholars and international organizations has evolved over several decades, and the cases of the developing world and the European Union are used as examples of how in this changing context development intervention should increasingly focus on efficiency and social inclusion at the expense of an emphasis on territorial convergence.

The Empirics of Agglomeration Economies
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated framework is proposed to discuss the empirical literature on the local determinants of agglomeration effects. But the authors focus on the impact of local density on productivity, and not only on the effect of density but also on workers' endogenous location choices.

Public r&d policies and private r&d investment: a survey of the empirical evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic review and critical discussion of what the research literature has to say about the effectiveness of major public R&D policies in increasing private research investment, including tax credits and direct subsidies, and support of the university research system and the formation of high-skilled human capital.

The Handbook of Evolutionary Economic Geography
Ron Boschma,Ron Martin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new paradigm of evolutionary economic geography based on a complexity-based approach to localised learning and spatial clustering, which they call complexity thinking and evolutionary economics.

China’s bullet trains facilitate market integration and mitigate the cost of megacity growth
Siqi Zheng,Matthew E. Kahn +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented supporting the claim that China’s bullet trains are playing a role in facilitating market integration and protecting the quality of life of the growing urban population, and that this transport innovation is associated with rising real estate prices in the nearby secondary cities.

Imperfect Competition in the Labor Market
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider why it is sensible to think of labor market as imperfectly competitive, reviews estimates on the size of rents, theories of and evidence on the distribution of rents between worker and employer, and the areas of labor economics where a perspective derived from imperfect competition makes a substantial difference to thought.
