“…In general, regional development theories which do not incorporate entrepreneurial factors may fail to understand and identify key sources of regional innovation (Andersson 2005), with entrepreneurs in more innovative regional environments likely to be more alert to opportunities and to contribute to regional economic growth (Audretsch and Keilbach 2004a;Benneworth 2004;Lee et al 2004). …”

Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory

Despite the growing acknowledgement that entrepreneurship is an important driver of regional innovation and growth, the role of the networks in these processes has been less formally examined. In order to address this gap, this paper proposes that the relationship between entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth is governed by a series of network dynamics. Drawing upon aspects of endogenous growth theory and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, it is proposed that the nature of the networks formed by entrepreneurial firms is a key determinant of regional growth differentials. In particular, network capital, in the form of investments in strategic relations to gain access to knowledge, is considered to mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship and innovation-based regional growth. It is suggested that network dynamics should be further incorporated into theories concerning the link between knowledge spillovers, entrepreneurship and regional growth. The paper concludes with a series of theoretical, entrepreneurial and policy implications emerging from the study.

“…Granted that state officials suffer from a Hayekian informational problem in spatial matters (Andersson, 2005(Andersson, , 2012Andersson and Moroni, 2014), can the state's only positive planning role be to do nothing and allow private contracting based on existing property rights?…”

Creation of property rights in planning by contract and edict: Beyond “Coasian bargaining” in private planning

This article advances the proposition that the creation of property rights, whether by contractupon-negotiation or edict, is far more significant than what has been described as "Coasian bargaining" in effecting sustainable development. By "creation" we intend the neo-institutional economist's sense of establishing a degree of exclusive property rights for common property or devising new contractual arrangements in which private property rights are entrenched. This is sometimes mistakenly confused with the assignment of property rights. "Sustainable development" is understood as the transformation of negative into positive externalities or a state of the tragedy of the commons into a vibrant resource nourishing industry. Two real-world cases involving government planning are used to illustrate this proposition. KeywordsCoasian bargaining, creation of property rights, open access resource, planning by contract, planning by edict Well-defined property rights and rule of law are all that is necessary to protect the environment from "tragedy of the commons" outcomes … government regulation to achieve environmental objectives typically does worse than private property rights and free markets. To begin with, regulators typically will not have access to the information generated by and available to

“…Concentration is a crucial factor; in fact, 'agglomeration' is a fundamental genetic principle of the city. If cities exist it is because people have always taken advantage of managing their social and economic relationships in a spatially concentrated arena (Gordon & Richardson, 1997;Webster & Lai, 2003;Andersson, 2005;Gordon & Ikeda, 2011;Holcombe, 2011). However, Jane Jacobs states that concentration is a key factor for the generation of different uses, which help the creation of a vibrant urban economy; but, as the authoress writes, density alone is not enough.…”
