“…These are networks which facilitate spillovers or network information and knowledge flows among actors located in different cities or regions. To measure Trullén et al's () dynamic network external economies we use the ESPON () multimodal accessibility index for 2006, which weights the potential of each region to exchange information through transportation infrastructures. In addition, an estimation of a spatial version of the growth model will provide additional information on network external economies.…”

This research analyses the effect of creative service industries on labour productivity of the regions. Creative service industries offer services that increase a region's capacity to generate and combine new ideas, resulting in an increased production of innovations which raise productivity. The paper proposes an analytical framework and compares findings in 250 regions in 24 countries of the European Union in 2008. We find that creative service industries increases labour productivity of the regions and their effects are as important for regional productivity as scientific research or highly qualified human capital.JEL classification: R11, R12, R58

“…Place marketing research has devoted a large amount of attention to cities and countries and often neglected to consider regional and local areas, such as provinces and counties (Zenker and Jacobsen, 2015). Additionally, the studies that have focused on regional areas have identified regional and local areas mainly on the basis of administrative or geographical criteria (Hospers, 2008; Trullén et al , 2013). However, places are “complex products,” resulting from the aggregation of production and fruition features, rather than spatial entities defined by geographical or administrative boundaries (Pike et al , 2017; Zenker and Martin, 2011).…”

Purpose This paper aims to contribute to the literature on place marketing by focusing on the concept of strategic needs, i.e. the set of strategic priorities that a place could achieve in a medium- to long-term horizon to improve its development. Design/methodology/approach The research examines the strategic needs of four local territorial systems (LTSs), i.e. clusters of municipalities that share social, economic and spatial similarities, located in a southern Italian province, through an analysis of their competitive positioning over three temporal instants. Findings For each LTS, the analysis identified a number of development goals that local policymakers could pursue and the strategies most suitable to achieve the said goals. Originality/value This paper proposes a new methodological approach to set the development goals of local areas based on the simultaneous assessment of their attractiveness and competitive capacity.
