Wealth From Diversity

Forg-Rob (Innsbruck, Austria) and C. 1 1. An aggregation theorem for allocation problems.

Particular emphasis is placed on the empirical credibility of model-based economy-wide and dynamic cost-benefit calculations.. Part two presents detailed case studies to illustrate the spillover effects of procurement projects and military-industrial partnerships.

  The volume is organized into four parts. Particular emphasis is paid to public procurement of military equipment as a catalyst for innovation; and the civilian commercialization of military technologies (from gunpowder and cannons to submarines, missiles and aircraft) is documented by many case illustrations that show how macro-level productivity advance has been generated. The book concludes with a section on fostering industrial development through public procurement.

" While this definition is clear, and conforms well to both our empirical and theoretical perspectives, some elaboration may help to clarify the concept.

The Geography of Innovation The geographic concentration of this knowledge fonns a technological infrastructure which promotes infonnation transfers, and lowers the risks and the costs of engaging in innovative activity. Building on the literature in economics and geography, this book demonstrates that product innovation clusters spatially in regions which provide concentrations of the knowledge needed for the commercialization process. This book offers a geographic dimension to the study of innovation and product commercialization.

Hence the central concern of this volume, to explore the links between diversity and regional development.Wealth from Diversity x.

In particular, this book seeks to answer three questions about entrepreneurship: What has happened over time? We do this in two ways. The key to understanding the role of public policy is through identifying those channels shifting either the demand for or the supply of entrepreneurship by policy instruments.

The list of concerns is long: regions with different levels of development compete within a new single market; the free movement of productive factors modifies the traditional pattern of industrial location, increasing tendencies to regional concentration shift the balance of income generation; new competitors enter traditional markets; information technology creates new possibilities of industrial organization and cooperation; competitivity is based on different capabilities to innovate and to promote structural change, and these capabilities differ among regions; traditional regional policies fail in the present even more than in the past. The general aim of this congress was to rethink the great economic and social changes in Europe during the last decade from a critical view, specially focused on peripheral regions and the conditions for an enduring process of development.Wealth from Diversity x.
