Este artigo objetiva analisar os efeitos das exportações de cacau para o crescimento e desenvolvimento da região cacaueira da Bahia no período de 1965-1980. Baseando-se nos elementos propostos por Schwartzman para uma estratégia de crescimento e desenvolvimento regional a partir de uma base de exportação, este artigo examinou três importantes aspectos relacionados a este produto primário: a) sua consolidação, na qual os principais fatores são os custos de produção: custos de transferências e custos de processamento; b) sua dinamização; e c) sua propagação. Além dos custos de produção, estes dois últimos itens levaram em consideração a demanda pelo produto cacau, a distribuição da renda regional, a diversificação e o encadeamento do produto cacau. Por fim, a conclusão a que se chegou foi que a região cacaueira da Bahia conseguiu consolidar sua base de exportação, mas não foi capaz de dinamizá-la e, conseqüentemente, o processo de desenvolvimento regional não foi efetivado no longo prazo. Abstract This article aims at analysing the effects of cocoa exports for the growth and development of the cocoa region in Bahia during the 1965-1980 period. In this regard, this article, based on Schwartzman’s proposition for a regional growth and development strategy from an export base, examines three important aspects related to this primary product: a) its consolidation, in which the main factors are the production, transfer and processing costs; b) its dynamism; and c) its propagation. These two last items take into consideration, in addition to the production costs, the demand for cocoa, the regional income distribution; the diversification as well as the linkages effects of cocoa. The article concludes that the cocoa region in Bahia succeeded in consolidating its export base, but it was not able to make it dynamic and consequently the regional development could not happen in the long term.

Main Factors

Providing of sustainability is one of the main priorities in normative documents in various countries. Factors affecting regional competitiveness is seen as close to them determining sustainability in many researches. The aim of this research was to identify and evaluate main factors of competitiveness for statistical regions of Latvia to promote sustainable development of the country, applying the complex regional competitiveness assessment system developed by the author. The analysis of the Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI) and its sub-indexes showed that each statistical region has both: factors promoting and hindering competitiveness. Overall the most competitive is Riga statistical region, but the last place takes Latgale statistical region. It is possible to promote equal regional development and sustainability of Latvia by implementing well-developed regional development strategy and National Action Plan. To develop such strategies, it is necessary to understand the concept of sustainable competitiveness. To evaluate sustainable competitiveness of Latvia and its regions it is necessary to develop further the methodology of regional competitiveness evaluation.

This chapter presents national estimates of incomes and inequality for 2007 and 2013. It begins with discussion of the CHIP datasets and measurement issues. It then reports core estimates of income and inequality, which indicate a modest decline in inequality during this period. Estimates are reported separately for formal urban residents, rural residents, and rural-to-urban migrants, with discussion of the effects of migration on inequality. Incomes and inequality are decomposed among the different sources of income; the urban/rural and regional income gaps are investigated. Alternative estimates of national inequality—using different income definitions, inequality indexes, and prices—are reported, as well as estimates that adjust for the underrepresentation of incomes in the top tail of the income distribution. The estimated decline in national inequality survives some but not all of these alternative calculations and thus raises questions about the magnitude and long-term sustainability of the inequality decline.

Human Capital Investments

Investments in human capital within the cohesion policy and their impact on regional development The aim of this paper is to systematize the existing literature on the effects of cohesion policy and specifically on the effectiveness of public investments in human capital through typology of research. The conclusions are used to give recommendations both for the academic as well as the public sector. There is a need for long-term statistical and macroeconomic analyses as well as in-depth qualitative research on the quality of interventions and differences between different types of investments. While there is a lot of potential in human capital investments to stimulate regional development, they are not a sole key to success and should rather be considered as part of a horizontal and complex development strategy.

Sustainable regional development can be achieved through balanced use and development of the region's industrial potential, improvement of its socioeconomic performance and drawing up a logical and prudent list of priorities and regional development indicators in strategy papers to ensure consistency with the actual economic situation in the region and maximum utilisation of the available development potential. The above highlights the importance of analysing the region's socioeconomic conditions, identifying the weaknesses in development at the national level in general and priority industries in the region in particular and drawing up regional development scenarios to chart the optimum balanced path during the transition toward the digital interaction environment. The aim of the research is to analyse the content of strategy papers in order to identify priority development directions for the region in question, favourable territories at the microlevel for maximum fulfilment of the regional strategy (i.e. municipalities) and priority industries to support the region's balanced development in the long term. For that, the ranking scoring method is proposed for municipalities, which is based on the parametric analysis. The normative inferences are drawn from quantitative comparisons of statistical data for the region and municipalities, i.e. an aggregate score of a municipality is determined based on the selected criteria, according to which the municipality is assigned its rank. Simultaneously, the values for the Leningrad region as a whole are also presented. The method of calculating the indicators of the basic type of economic activity (an integrated set of indicators) is then used to identify the region's priority industry. As a result, municipalities with high socioeconomic profile are identified in the Leningrad region, which are the Vsevolozhsky municipal district, Sosnovoborsky urban district, Lomonosovsky municipal district and Gatchinsky municipal district. These territories show the strongest potential for implementing the mechanisms of sustainable development strategies. The analysis indicated the following priority industries for sustainable development of the Leningrad region: manufacturing, transport and communications, wholesale and retail trade, real estate transactions and construction. Accordingly, targeted financing of modernisation in these industries would lead to sustainable long-term development in the Leningrad region.

Regional development policy aims to cope with the challenge of spatial disparities. It is based on a smart combination of various critical capital assets in a region which functionally and spatially interact and which yield synergetic economic opportunities and promising challenges for innovation and progress. The present study regards sustainable territorial performance – as a manifestation of regional development – as the overarching principle for competitive advantages and economic growth in a system of regions, which is particularly induced by territorial capital, comprising human capital, infrastructural capital and social capital. In the long-standing tradition of regional development policy a wide variety of effective facilitators or drivers of accelerated spatial growth has been distinguished, for instance, industrial districts, growth poles, growth centers, industrial complexes, special economic zones, communication axes, and so forth. In the past decades, a new concept has been introduced, viz. economic-technological clusters. An avalanche of literature has been published on the conceptual, operational and policy foundation and relevance of this concept, especially in relation to previously developed regional growth concepts. In this paper, clusters will be regarded as the spatial foci of sustainable territorial performance strategies and synergetic actions by both public and private actors. The present paper aims to address the relevance of cluster concepts for an effective regional development policy, based on the above notion of territorial capital. It does so by introducing a new concept, viz. effective cluster, in which spatial-economic synergy, local/regional concentration of industry, and the supporting role of territorial capital are regarded as the main determinants of a highly performing cluster in a given territory. The effective cluster concept will be tested on the basis of a field study on the aviation and aerospace cluster ‘Dolina Lotnicza’ in the Podkarpackie region in South-East Poland. This is one of the most vibrant high-tech clusters in thecountry. A new approach based on a triple-layer architecture will be adopted here, viz.: a quantitative comparative analysis of the 16 Polish ‘voivodships’ (main administrative regions in the country, at a NUTS-2 level), a benchmark analysis of the 25 counties (‘powiats’) within the Podkarpackie voivodship (at a NUTS-4 level), and an effective industrial cluster analysis on the basis of the individual aviation firms located in the Podkarpackie region. In each step an extended Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), characterised by a merger of a Slack-Based Measure (SMB) and a super-efficiency (SE) DEA, will be used in order to achieve an unambiguous ranking of the various regions or Decision Making Units (DMUs). The study will employ an extensive database on individual actors in the cluster, in combination with a broadly composed territorial-capital database for the areas under study. The paper will be concluded with some strategic policy lessons.

The article presents the key results of scenario projections that underpinned the Strategy for long-term low carbon economic development of the Russian Federation to 2050, including analysis of potential Russia’s GHG emission mitigation commitments to 2050 and assessment of relevant costs, benefits, and implications for Russia’s GDP. Low carbon transformation of the Russian economy is presented as a potential driver for economic growth that offers trillions-of-dollars-worth market niches for low carbon products by mid-21st century. Transition to low carbon economic growth is irreversible. Lagging behind in this technological race entails a security risk and technological backwardness hazards.

First Time

The study was targeted at developing a methodology for constructing a macroeconomic performance index at a provincial level for the first time in Vietnam based on 4 groups of measurements: (i) Economic indicators; (ii) oriented economic indicators; (iii) socio-economic indicators; and (iv) economic - social – institutional indicators. Applying the methodology to the 2011 - 2015 empirical data of all provinces in Vietnam, the research shows that the socio-economic development strategy implemented by those provinces did not provide balanced outcomes between growth and social objectives, sustainability and inclusiveness. Many provinces focused on economic growth at the cost of structural change, equality and institutional transformation. In contrast, many provinces were successful in improving equality but not growth. Those facts threaten the long-term development objectives of the provinces.
