In the process of China's inter-regional transfer of industries, there is a large number of economic risks. This article tries to develop a set of scientific and practical control strategies of the economic risks, to achieve the desired goal of stable and sustainable economic growth and continued improvement in local social welfare.

A question fundamental to sustainable economic growth is whether a poor region tends to grow faster than a rich one, such that the poor region catches up with the rich region in terms of the level of per capita income. In this article, we apply the spatial panel data approach to the analysis of regional income convergence across 177 economic areas in the contiguous US states over the period fro...

Foreign-born residents constitute approximately eleven percent of the Swedish population. This level has been reached after steady immigration during the post-war years and has been accompanied in recent decades with proportionately more non-European immigrants. Immigration has implications for Swedish regional economic development for two reasons examined here. First, immigrant settlement patt...

The onset of globalization and increased regional economic integration has presented new challenges as well as opportunities for SMEs in East Asia. Despite the many barriers and capacity constraints they face arising from their relatively small size, they remain a vibrant and essential ingredient for the economic growth and employment generation of the regional economy. To survive in an increas...

This paper focuses on the dynamic effects under which the regional economic growth processes are accomplished, breaking them down into two broad types: neighborhood and economy-wide effects. By means of a proposed dynamic space-time empirical model, the competition structure within a multi-regional economic system is developed. Co-integration/error correction modeling techniques are used to sup...

This research paper aims to study the correlation between the transportation infrastructure and regional economic activity. It emphasizes on the seaport activity and the activities of the different services sectors. By comparing trends between them and analyzing the causality relationships between the port traffic and the other economic sectors, our study tends to present how the activity of th...

Transport infrastructure has represented one of the cornerstones of development and cohesion strategies in the European Union (EU) and elsewhere in the world. However, despite the considerable funds devoted to it, its impact remains controversial. This paper revisits the question of to what extent transport infrastructure endowment – proxied by regional motorways – has contributed to regional g...

Urbanization in Bangladesh takes the form of rapid growth of urban population, largely due to natural growth and rural-urban migration. The hierarchy of urban system includes both induced and spontaneous growth centres. Large numbers of spontaneous growth centres grow due to rapid population growth as well as growing importance of certain local resource that induces economic growth. Trickle dow...

The purpose of this study is to empirically test the validity of Kaldor’s laws of economic growth in China between 1978 and 2004 and to provide an alternative explanation of sources of Chinese economic growth in a Kaldorian perspective. First, in a spatial econometrics perspective using a regional data set, the present paper empirically verifies that Kaldorian hypotheses on economic growth hold...
