Urbanization, as considered from the economic aspect is good as it facilitates achievement of economies and thus promotes growth of industries and development in the economy. However, taking the social point of view urbanization encourage crimes as is evident from the fact that the rate of crime is higher in large cities and in urbanized areas as has been proved by many empirical studies. Urban...

An important weakness of innovation system theory is a neglect of the international dimension. A central proposition rests on dynamic agglomeration economies: interactive learning requires co-location, hence a preference for national linkages. The analysis focuses on adjustments of national economic structures and institutions that are necessary to cope with the accelerated pace of change and t...

Productivity determinants of the urban domestic electricity sector in a crosssection of EU countries are examined to unveil the existence of two forms of spillover effects: those from foreign firms (foreign spillovers) and those related to spatial interactions (spatial spillovers). The empirical analysis also assesses the importance of industrial disaggregation in the context of the ongoing pol...

Despite wide recognition of their significant role in explaining sustained growth and economic development, uncompensated knowledge spillovers have not yet been fully modeled with a microeconomic foundation. The main purpose of this paper is to illustrate the exchange of knowledge as well as its consequences on agglomerative activity in a general-equilibrium search-theoretic framework. Agents, ...

Mainstream economic literature has often neglected spatial issues. Marshall having initiated the study of agglomeration economies, these were then only further pursued in specialized lines of research in economics and economic geography. General interest in them was revived by the "new economic geography" when it applied new economic tools and concepts to their study. However, in order to under...
