Download or read book Sources of Metropolitan Growth written by John F. McDonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The factors that determine growth at the industry level are different for innovative versus mature industries. Growth industries rely on high-quality workers, access to capital, technical change, and numerous forms of collected economies. Mature industries concentrate on low-input costs and minimizing costs for wages, transportation, taxes, material, etc. This approach is adopted here to consider the growth and development of metropolitan economies.In twelve chapters, eminent scholars provide a complete review of what works - and what doesn't - in generating economic development. What are the potential and the reality of producer services, suburban business centers, enterprise zones, technology-based ventures, and industrial incubators? How can economic development policy improve the incubator effect? Is there a nationwide venture capital network? What are the locational requirements of firms in high-growth industries? Finally, what are the consequences of failed growth?This comprehensive collection includes chapters by Edwin S. Mills; Patricia E. Beeson; Mark A. Satterthwaite; Breandán Ó Huallacháin; John F. McDonald; William B. Beyers; Truman A. Hartshorn; Peter O. Muller; Rodney A. Erickson; Richard Florida; Donald F. Smith, Jr.; Claudia Bird Schoonhoven; Kathleen M. Eisenhardt; Stephen Nord; Robert G. Sheets; and Thomas R. Hammer. This workis a must read for policymakers, planners, analysts, and students.

This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aging and migration megatrends and their impact on spatial – regional and local – labor market performance is the core theme of this book, and thus together define its scope and focus. The contributions provide an overview of key aging and migration issues in various countries together with analyses of their varied impacts on regional labor markets. Systematic database research and related empirical analyses are used to map out the complex and dynamic nature of these trends, while cutting-edge economic and modeling techniques are used to analyze them. In closing, the book critically reviews and assesses selected policy measures designed to cope with the effects of aging and migration on regional labor markets.
Download or read book The Transforming Metropolitan Economy written by Thomas M. Stanback and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century has been marked by the decline of goods-producing sectors as providers of jobs in the US economy and by the continuous rise in importance of most service sectors. This shift toward services has touched every city, town, and hamlet in the country. Yet, the impact of this transformation on employment, earnings, and income has varied widely among places, affecting their chances for prosperity and a favorable employment environment in the years ahead.By focusing on the metropolitan area rather than only the central city, Thomas M. Stanback points out that suburbs have become more than neighborhood markets or sources of commuter labor for the central city. Rather, suburb and central city are closely and symbiotically related economically - and, to a significant degree, culturally as well. Thomas M. Stanback, in this work, analyzes the major transformations affecting 319 metropolitan areas across the US during the last three decades of the twentieth century.This comprehensive analysis documents five significant trends: the pervasiveness of the new service economy; the dominance of metropolitan economies; the growing economic specialization separating metro areas; the wide-ranging differences in employment, earnings, and income growth across metro areas; and the increasing importance of non-earned income as a source of aggregate demand. Stanback classifies US metro areas by industry and examines which economic sectors produced the fastest growth in income and employment. This concise, thorough, and clearly written volume is essential background reading for students, practitioners, and public officials concerned with national, regional, and local economic growth and economic development.

Download or read book Smart Development in Smart Communities written by Gilberto Antonelli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of smart cities has become one of the most significant new lines of thinking to emerge in the social sciences in recent years, both from the research and policy angles. To date, the focus in smart specialization has been on what regions as a whole can do to bring about innovation, but it hasn’t necessarily addressed the role cities play within the field. This book aims to address that gap, drawing together a team of leading contributors, to illustrate this process with particular focus on cities. Smart Development in Smart Communities discusses the cross-fertilization between smart specialization and cities in fostering smart development and its interactions with the macro-, micro- and meso-economic framework, from both a theoretical and applied perspective. Specific topics covered by the book include: human capital formation and utilization; centralized/decentralized industrial policies; innovation policies; collective learning; and the role of public utilities in sustaining smart development processes. This book tackles some of the most important questions that must be faced when investigating how structural change and innovation processes are shaping local and global economic development. It will be of interest to academics and researchers in the area of Development Economics, Urban Studies and Public Management.

Center for Urban Policy Research and published by New Brunswick, N.J. : Center for Urban Policy Research, Rutgers - the State University of New Jersey. This book was released on 1975 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Metropolitan and regional economic and demographic shifts - now manifested in the stagnation or decline of America's old industrial region - pose consequences more far-reaching than the urban-suburban shifts which have heretofore claimed public attention. This collection of original essays examines why the focus of development is shifting away from older metropolitan regions and begins to mold policy in regard to a number of vexing issues: jobs and earnings, labor force characteristics, housing supplies, public expenditures, land use, tax delinquency and abandonment, and the struggle for racial equality. George Sternlieb and James W. Hugues have focused on three approaches to metropolitan change: examining the economic and demographic trendlines, analyzing the causes underlying the statistics, and considering the policy implications of stagnation or decline in our older cities."--Jacket.
