Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Regional Development: National and Regional Perspectives

Economists survey current research into the role new business formation plays in regional development, present and interpret their own results, and suggest directions for further research. Among the topics are globalization, entrepreneurship, and the region; theories and empirical evidence on regional determinants of entrepreneurial activities; high-impact firms; firm growth, institutions, and structural transformation; and inadvertent infrastructure and regional entrepreneurship policy.
