The development of clusters of economic activity is an important feature of industrial policy. Industry clusters have long fascinated economists and geographers alike, the most renowned being Silicon Valley which is seen by many as the blueprint for regional development, innovation, and growth. Several clusters have also developed across Europe, including SiliconFen in Cambridge and Minalogic in Grenoble, and in recent years cluster policies have become popular among policy makers as a useful tool for informing decisions on industrial, regional, and public policy. This book looks at the mechanisms at work behind cluster dynamics, the gains that can be expected from increased clustering, and the determinants of cluster policies. Focusing on France, it provides a theoretical and empirical study of clusters, their success and failures, and the policy lessons that can be applied to the wider international community. France is particularly interesting because there is a long tradition of strong government intervention regarding the location of economic activity, and cluster initiatives are relatively unified across the country. This book shows that, whilst gains from clusters do exist, some firms tend to cluster too much and that spatial agglomeration is only successful to a point, after which congestion effects can offset these gains. It questions the need and the feasibility of cluster policies aimed at interfering directly in the concentration process of firms, and thus looks beyond the general enthusiasm for clusters.

Developments in methodologies, agglomeration, and a range of applied issues have characterized recent advances in regional and urban studies. Volume 5 concentrates on these developments while treating traditional subjects such as housing, the costs and benefits of cities, and policy issues beyond regional inequalities. Contributors make a habit of combining theory and empirics in each chapter, guiding research amid a trend in applied economics towards structural and quasi-experimental approaches. Clearly distinguished from the New Economic Geography covered by Volume 4, these articles feature an international approach that positions recent advances within the discipline of economics and society at large. Editors are recognized as leaders and can attract an international list of contributors Regional and urban studies interest economists in many subdisciplines, such as labor, development, and public economics Table of contents combines theoretical and applied subjects, ensuring broad appeal to readers

In this authoritative collection, Paul Cheshire and Gilles Duranton have brought together the most significant contributions to regional and urban economics since 1990. The volume presents papers on theoretical and empirical analyses of city structure and systems of cities. It places particular emphasis on the empirics of agglomeration and regional growth with a special section on the new economic geography and includes key policy-oriented contributions. The editors have written an authoritative new introduction which offers a comprehensive overview of the subject.This volume will be of particular interest to those pursuing research with a regional and urban focus, including spatial economists, regional scientists, economic geographers and planners.

Le 12 juillet 2005, le gouvernement a labellisé 67 « pôles de compétitivité » ? ou clusters. Ils sont aujourd?hui au nombre de 71. La politique d?aménagement du territoire est passée d?une intervention publique destinée à aider les régions en difficulté à une politique visant à encourager les plus dynamiques. Un objectif d?efficacité s?est ainsi substitué à un objectif d?équité. Sur quoi se fonde-t-il ? Sur l?idée que le regroupement des activités de production et de recherche permet d?améliorer la productivité des entreprises. Les clusters, pourtant, ne se décrètent pas, car ils obéissent à des mécanismes complexes.À contre-courant de l?enthousiasme que suscite le soutien aux clusters, cette étude montre qu?une telle politique peut en réalité avoir des effets négatifs : une trop grande spécialisation rend les régions tributaires du destin d?un secteur, en particulier lorsque les travailleurs sont peu mobiles ? comme c?est le cas en France.
