Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"A primary stated aim of the collection is to pull together new insights from growth theory, economic geography, and innovation theory to bear on the common question of the role of innovative knowledge creation and diffusion on differential regional growth. ... a useful and thought provoking collection ... . it is a worthy compendium adding more fuel to the quest for economic growth theories that withstand empirical testing." (Susan M. Walcott, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 44 (2), 2004)
