The Difference

The aim of this paper is to draw attention to the role of local industrial networks in regional development processes. A one-region model is built with which to investigate the conditions under which local networks arise, distinguishing between spontaneous and supported networks. Taking into account the difference between incomplete and fully coordinated agreements among firms, I establish the values of parameters that allow for the rise of each type of network. Finally, I discuss the positive effects that local networks yield to the regional internal product, making them a reliable support for regional economic take-off.

Abstract We are facing a transnational future. Globalization is getting more and more important in economic development, processes are becoming global, and the allocation of goods, capital and resources is carried out on the global market. In such transnational system, the role of large business centers of resource concentration is getting more significant and the ability of nations to balance the allocation of resources is getting poorer. Consequently, the micro-regions, counties and settlements need to face direct global challenges and the self-generated competition as well. Micro-regions, which are not able to adapt to the global resource market and competition, fall out of this allocation space and surely lag behind. Their future greatly depends on how they can represent their interests and how they can improve their positions.

AbstractThe growth of populations of Triatoma infestans (Klug) depends on temperature and blood-intake. Experiments are described which demonstrated the density-dependent relationship between population size, blood intake and population growth at different temperatures. The number of bugs feeding and their mean blood intake was lower at high bug densities than at low ones, both with restrained chickens and with unrestrained mice as hosts. When blood intake was restricted, the development times of all nymphal stages were increased, and female fecundity was decreased. Previous work showed also that reduced blood intake led to an increased tendency for adult flight. It is thought that at high bug density the three factors, increased development times, decreased fecundity and increased flight, operate to restore the population to a stable density without promoting an increase in mortality. The mechanism linking population density to nutritional status seemed to depend on host irritability, which interrupted the bugs' feeding. Bugs which passed a certain threshold meal size would not resume feeding if interrupted, even though their blood intake was well below normal. The difference between the minimal threshold meal and a normal meal is thought to provide the nutritional elasticity within which the development processes are regulated. It is suggested that this mechanism is characteristic of K-strategists, whereas r–strategists such as mosquitoes tend to continue attacking, even if interrupted, until they achieve a normal meal.

Intense Research

Regional economic or regional enterprise development has been subject to intense research by economists, planners, enterprise specialists and policy specialists for decades. The paper examines various models for regional economic or regional enterprise development and focuses on small towns and communities as an essential component of development. The paper reviews the role of entrepreneurs in enterprise strategies linked to towns and communities and the origins of entrepreneurs and strategies that might be adopted at the regional level to provide support for the entrepreneurial event. The results of a field study of over three hundred Australian regional development centres small enterprise clients, the strategies of those centres impact on entrepreneurs, reveal that the proposed objectives were not achieved and the strategies were in retrospect questionable. The paper concludes with recommended strategies for practitioners and policy makers dedicated to regional development and recognising the role of entrepreneurs in that process.

Positive Effect

Art has a positive effect on regional development. This paper believes that as an important part of art, artists play an important role in regional development. As an individual artist, using their personal influence to form a brand effect is worthy of study on the promotion of regional economic development, art education, and national art internationalization. However, in the development based on personal influence, it is worthwhile to think about the shortcomings caused by personal factors and how to solve them.

Regional Innovation Policy

The evolutionary changes of the paradigms of the economic development of the region are investigated in the context of theories: neo-classical and theory of regional economic development, Keynesian theory, theory of monetarism, theory of economic rationalism, theories of comparative, competitive and common advantages, theories of globalization, sustainable development, selfdevelopment and endogenous development, new theory of growth. The role of innovations in the analyzed paradigmatic shifts, as well as the essence of regional innovation policy are determined. The analysis of the evolution of the paradigms of regional economic development revealed the following qualitative changes: the expansion of the production function with such variables as technology, training, entrepreneurship; Attribution to the factors of regional development, along with economic factors, as well as social, cultural and institutional factors; The characteristic of the development of the economy by its ability to generate innovation; Transformation of technologies, science and innovations into development catalysts in a new era of industry; Inclusion of social and environmental components into the strategic planning of economic development, the emergence of an integrated strategic planning of regional development; Moving the focus of regional strategic planning towards competitive advantages based on less intrusive factors such as efficiency, productivity, quality indicators; Transformation of comparative and competitive advantages towards common advantages that stimulate enterprises and regions to collaborate and innovate; Giving the state the role of companion and entrepreneur in regional economic development; The development of local innovative ecosystems on the basis of endogenous factors and with the preservation of its global orientation (the process of glocalization); Defining a human-oriented strategy of state development as the basis of an innovative society, which respects human rights and freedoms, and decent living conditions for people are the goal of development.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the differential effects of two external search strategies on radical innovation (RI) and incremental innovation (II) and explore the mediating role of knowledge integration capability (KIC).Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on the data collected from a sample of 241 firms from Chinese electronic information industry. The author conducted a hierarchical regression analysis using SPSS and PROCESS to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe results showed that both external search breadth and depth have positive effects on RI/II performance. The author also found that the effect of search breadth on RI is greater than that on II, and the effect of search depth on RI is less than that on II. Moreover, the author discovered that KIC fully or partially mediates the relationship between external search strategies and RI/II.Originality/valueThe paper provides a finer grained understanding concerning the difference in the impacts of the two external search strategies on RI/II performance. The paper also adds to the existing literature by explaining the path in which external knowledge search influences RI/II through the mediation effect of KIC.

Currently there is a large gap in the level of socio-economic development across regions in Taiwan and inter-regional economic disequilibrium prevails. 23 cities (counties) in Taiwan were taken for example to analyze and evaluate the difference in the level of regional economic development. Firstly, based on the principle in selection of indicators for the level of regional economic development, combined with the actual situation of Taiwan's regional economic development and cities (counties) as the evaluation unit, indicators for evaluation were selected in a scientific and reasonable manner and the weight of each evaulation indicator was determined by Delphi method, thus to establish an evaluation indicator system for the level of economic development in Taiwan’s 23 cities (counties). Secondy, the multi-index comprehensive measurement was used to calculate the composite index of the level of economic development of each evaluation unit, and after horizontal, vertical comparison and analytical investigation of the cities (counties), the reasons for the difference in economic development were analyzed (H • H • Nekrasov, "Regional Economics: Theory • Problem • Methods" 1978). Finally, measures were proposed to coordinate the regional development.

Ethnolinguistic Fractionalization

The many growing migratory flows render our societies increasingly heterogeneous. From the point of view of social welfare, achieving all the positive effects of diversity appears as a challenge for our societies. Nevertheless, while it is true that ethnolinguistic diversity involves costs and benefits, at a country level it seems that the former are greater than the latter, even more so when income inequality between ethnic groups is taken into account. In this respect, there is a vast literature at a macro level that shows that ethnolinguistic fragmentation induces lower income, which leads to the conclusion that part of the difference in income observed between countries can be attributed to their different levels of fragmentation. This paper presents primary evidence of the role of education in mitigating the adverse effects of ethnolinguistic fractionalization on the level of income. While the results show a negative association between fragmentation and income for all indices of diversity, the attainment of a certain level of education, especially secondary and tertiary, manages to reverse the sign of the marginal effect of ethnolinguistic fractionalization on income level. Since current societies are increasingly diverse, these results could have major economic policy implications.
