The commercialization of academic knowledge is increasingly seen as a potential economic development model, particularly for improving the capabilities and economic performance of regions. This insightful volume investigates the emerging factors in knowledge commercialization from an international perspective and highlights research agendas and challenges to be met across academia, industry and government. The expert contributors focus specifically on the new role of universities in regional economic development through knowledge commercialization, as well as university-industry interaction and the factors that influence knowledge and technology transfer. They explore knowledge commercialization in the US, knowledge valorization in Europe, and technology transfer dynamics in China. A forum for discussion of whether, why, and how commercialization and valorization of knowledge can lead to higher levels of innovation and economic development from an international perspective is also provided. This thought-provoking book will prove a stimulating read for academics, students and researchers with an interest in regional economics, regional studies and knowledge management.

Economic activities are not concentrated on the head of a pin, nor are they spread evenly over a featureless plane. On the contrary, they are distributed very unequally across locations, regions and countries. Even though economic activities are, to some extent, spatially concentrated because of natural features, economic mechanisms that rely on the trade-off between various forms of increasing returns and different types of mobility costs are more fundamental. This book is a study of the economic reasons for the existence of a large variety of agglomerations arising from the global to the local. This second edition combines a comprehensive analysis of the fundamentals of spatial economics and an in-depth discussion of the most recent theoretical developments in new economic geography and urban economics. It aims to highlight several of the major economic trends observed in modern societies. The first edition was the winner of the 2004 William Alonso Memorial Prize for Innovative Work in Regional Science.

Les villes et les territoires apparaissent de plus en plus comme les lieux privilégiés pour l'organisation du développement et la création de richesses. Le territoire est désormais au coeur de la performance économique. Cet ouvrage est consacré à l'analyse de ce phénomène quasi-planétaire. Il expose une vision de l'espace à la fois « actif et complexe », définissant une nouvelle économie spatiale appelée aujourd'hui « économie territoriale ». Les théories économiques présentées sont illustrées par de nombreux exemples pris dans différents pays. Ce manuel est destiné aux étudiants en économie, en science politique, en géographie et urbanisme, ainsi qu'aux cadres des collectivités territoriales et des administrations déconcentrées. Il s'adresse aussi au citoyen éclairé et concerné au quotidien par une telle évolution des mécanismes économiques. (4e de couverture)
