Spatial Economic Dynamics

Am I in the right location is a question that many entrepreneurs ask themselves. Am I close enough to the market to be able to respond in time to the constantly changing needs of my customers? And why is my competitor deciding now to move the entire production process to Poland? Can I actually afford not to have a branch in Silicon Valley, the American Valhalla of modern technology, with my high-tech company?
These are the questions and the responses of governments to the spatial behavior of companies that are central to Spatial Economic Dynamics. For example, governments wonder how they can keep their (regional) economy competitive. Do you simply have to attract every company? Or is there an optimal spatial mix, where one company stimulates the other, as it were?
The book attempts to provide insight into the way in which companies and governments act, using economic geographical theories. To this end, the theories are explicitly linked to the main currents in economics.
Compared to the previous edition, this revised edition has added a completely new chapter on the relationship between economy and geography. Furthermore, the text has been completely revised, updated and enriched with new insights.
