Reviews

'The book gives a good overview, an extensive and well-organized picture, of previous regional economic studies and analyzes them from the point of view of knowledge-based industries... Due to the extensive theoretical consideration of topics the book is a suitable text for students interested in regional and industrial economics. On the other hand, the in-depth analyses with empirical findings make it interesting for researchers as well as for national and regional officials.' -- Ulla Kotonen, Journal of Regional Science 'This volume represents an important information source for a broad range of disciplines - regional and development economics, public policy, economic geography and industrial studies. It will interest teachers, researchers, students and policymakers within these fields.' -- Economic Outlook and Business Review
