Beskrivning
Targeting regional economic development (TRED) has a long and rich tradition among academic economists and in the world of economic development practitioners. This book builds on a series of workshops and papers organized by The Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development (NERCRD) at the Pennsylvania State University and the Rural Policy Research Centre (RUPRI) at the University of Missouri. Through the coordinated efforts of NERCRD and RUPRI, a network of university based researchers and Extension education specialists was developed and provides the foundation of this new edited volume.For the first time in a single book, Goetz, Deller and Harris present an innovative approach through a collection of chapters discussing industry targeting and the relevance of TRED as an important analytical tool for practical targeting purposes. The papers present issues surrounding community economic development, clusters in industry and rural communities and the role of agglomeration economies. The book provides the reader with insights into not only the theoretical foundations of targeting as well as empirical methods, but also approaches for using the community-level analysis to affect policy directions.

'Targeting regional economic development deals with the strategy that arguably occupies most of the economic development activity of cities and regions. With contributions from eminent academics intimately involved in local economic development practice, this book presents a tool-box of new and innovative methods for regional economic targeting along with the theoretical and conceptual moorings of these applications.' -- Professor Daniel Felsenstein, Director, Institute of Urban and Regional Studies, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel."Goetz, Deller, and Harris’s collection, like all good collections, is the work of a community of scholars. But what is unique about it is that the authors are a community of scholars committed to both research and outreach. The result is a collection about targeted regional economic development (TRED) that reflects both current theory about regional economic growth and current theory about community development practice." -- Eric Thompson, Department of Economics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Journal of Regional Science, 2011)
