About this title

Synopsis

Oort (urban and regional research, Utrecht U.; Netherlands Institute for Spatial Research, The Hague) examines the relationship of spatial economic externalities (agglomeration economies) to endogenous employment growth and innovation intensity of firms in the Netherlands. His research incorporates spatial scale and composition effects in consistent modeling and conceptualization that are underdeveloped in previous studies. Coverage includes agglomeration in economic and geographical theories; heterogeneity in localized economic growth; spatial distribution patterns acquired through exploratory spatial data analysis; and the application of spatial econometric models to endogenous growth and innovation hypotheses.
