A regional economy is characterized as a spatial economy. However the literature shows that it has been treated as a point economy since space is little recognized in regional modeling due to mathematical complication. This leads to the fact that regional model does not sufficiently represent regional characteristic. This paper attempts to construct a regional growth model in a partial equilibrium framework specifically taking into consideration land as a primary factor. The model is formulated largely neoclassical. Labor is assumed to move in response to differences in the wage rate, while capital is perfectly mobile across regions. The paper shows that two growth equilibrium points exist, one stable equilibrium point and the other unstable equilibrium point. The unstable growth equilibrium indicates the existence of minimum threshold that a region must overcome the minimum threshold to grow constantly. Consequently, directions of regional growth are characterized by two growth paths depending on the initial condition of a region. That is to say, a region below the minimum threshold is converging toward the lower stable equilibrium point over time. When a regional economy initially lies above the minimum threshold, it will grow forever. A regional economy is not thus necessarily converging a stationary is not thus necessarily converging a stationary equilibrium point through factor movement. Finally, the impacts of the presence of agglomeration economies and diseconomies are analyzed through the phase diagram. The paper also shows that agglomeration economies result in lowering the minimum threshold and in escalating the level of stable equilibrium However, when agglomeration diseconomies prevail, the results are opposite, i.e., rising the minimum threshold of growth and lowering the growth level of stable equilibrium.

Education is widely recognized one of main sources for growth. This paper attempts to incorporate the general recognition into formal regional growth model. The model structure is largely neoclassical. It produces a single good with the two factors, educated labor and non-educated labor, via a constant return production migrating to the region with the higher real wage. The educated labor in a region is accumulated by two sources, migration and physical education capital, while the non-educated labor is by only migration. The paper shows that regional growth equilibrium is characterized as a saddle point. This indicates the presence of the minimum threshold size that must be overcome before a region may grow. It contrasts sharply with results obtained in regional growth models. The paper suggests that regional growth is determined less by the technical characteristics of regional production function characteristics of regional production function but by the stock combination of educated function but by the stock combination of education labor and non-educated labor. Based on this result, the impact of agglomeration economies on regional growth is explored. It is by phase diagram demonstrated that the presence of agglomeration economies do not always lead a region to growth since there still exists the minimum threshold even in the presence of agglomeration economies.

The strategy of regional industrial specialization is empirically evaluated by examining the relationship between regional industrial structures and economic performances. The regional industrial structure is measured by three industrial diversity indices such as ogive approach, entropy maximizing approach, and economic growth and employment instability in 12 regions is analyzed. According to the time series analysis, we found that the region with more diversified industrial structure experiences more stable in employment. Otherwise, the growth rate of the region with more simplified industrial structure is higher. Therefore, the strategy of industrial specialization is implemented in order to pursuit a rapid economic growth in the short run.

This study analyzed the factors affecting economic growth using multiple regression model and Geographically Weighted Regression in consideration of population, industry and employment, housing and political characteristics on economic growth by region. The analysis results are summarized as follows. First, the total employment growth rate, manufacturing employment growth rate, local election turnout and the level of party consensus between the central and local governments are having a positive impact on regional economic growth. Second, according to the GWR analysis, the population has a positive impact on economic growth in the southern region of Korea, and the increase in the total number of employees has a positive impact on the southern region of Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, North Chungcheong Province and North Gyeongsang Province. Finally, the voter turnout of urbanites is positively affecting economic growth in South Chungcheong Province, Gangwon Province and the southern coast, while North Jeolla and South Jeolla provinces have a positive impact on economic growth as the parties of the central and local governments are equal. The results of this study may suggest the role of local government for regional economic development.

본 연구에서는 지역경제 관점에서 미국의 SCI(State Competitiveness Index)의 사례를 통해 지역경쟁력지표에 대해 살펴보고, 이들 지역경쟁력 지수와 지역성장 특성과 관계를 패널로짓분석을 통해 실증분석을 하였다. 특히 미국의 주를 대상으로 지역성장의 특성을 소득의 정태적 기준과 동태적 기준으로 구분하였다. 이에 대한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 미국 주에서 지역경쟁력지수(SCI)가 전국평균이상인 지역이면서 소득의 정태적요인인 1인당 소득수준과 동태적 요인인 성장률이 전국평균 이상인 지역은 Alaska, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming으로 나타나, 이들 지역이 미국 주 중에서 지역경쟁력지수가 높으면서도 번성지역이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째, 지역성장의 소득수준과 지역경쟁력 지수와의 관계에 있어서는 인적자본, 과학기술, 비즈니스 인큐베이션, 개방성, 안정성, 환경정책 등의 변수들이 통계적 유의미했다. 셋째, 지역성장의 소득성장률과 지역경쟁력 지수와의 관계에 있어 인프라, 인적자본, 과학기술과 개방성 등이 통계적으로 유의미한 변수였다. 지식기반경제에 있어 지역소득수준과 성장률에 중요한 지역경쟁력 변수는 인적자본, 과학기술, 개방성이라고 할 수 있어 향후 한국의 지식기반경제에 있어 지역경쟁력을 강화하기 위해서는 지역경제차원에서 이들 지표에 대한 경쟁력 향상을 위한 정책이 중요할 것으로 판단된다.

급속한 경제성장의 시기에는 요소투입에 의한 성장정책과 성장의 지역적 분배에 기초한 지역개발정책이 가능하였다. 그러나 국가간 경쟁이 심화되고 불확실성의 증대로 성장의 원동력이 크게 약화된 시기에 이러한 모델은 이론적, 실용적 권위를 잃고 있다. 세계화된 경쟁적 환경과 불확실한 세계경제 변화에 신속하고 효율적으로 대처할 수 있는 내생적인 지역혁신역량 구축이 성장과 지역개발정책의 새로운 대안으로 등장하였다. 중앙집권적인 성장정책과 지역개발정책으로 수도권의 과밀화와 지방의 과소화 문제를 겪었던 프랑스는 지방의 내생적인 혁신역량 구축을 위해 지난 1970년대부터 단계적인 지역혁신체계 구축 정책을 실행해 오고 있다. 지방의 내생적인 혁신역량 구축을 위해 계획적인 지식창출과 지역개발을 동시에 추구해온 프랑스의 지역혁신체계의 구축 수단과 방식은 지역의 내생적인 혁신역량 강화와 지역간 불균형 문제를 해소하려는 정부의 정책에 많은 시사점을 제공한다.

This study extends the previous research into the effects of knowledge spillovers on innovation and regional exports growth by more clearly distinguishing, both theoretically and empirically, two different types of knowledge spillovers, namely product and market knowledge spillovers. More importantly, this research provides insights on their role of knowledge spillovers in shaping regional innovative activities and, eventually, regional export growths. Furthermore, this research makes an important contribution to the understudied market knowledge spillovers by developing two variables that could be used to assess the flow of market knowledge spillovers at the regional level: localization economies and export consulting advice. Using secondary data on eight 2-digit manufacturing industries in ten New Zealand regions over a seven year period, this research found that regional competition, localization economies and the availability of export consulting advice have positively and significantly impact on the regional export growth in New Zealand.

Over the last two decades, interest increased with regard to how some research universities made direct impacts on surrounding regional economic activities and growth. Although the role of basic research for most research universities has remained strong, pressure has intensified to broaden its missions to include helping local and regional economic development efforts. Consequently, many research universities have evolved their basic scientific research mission from the production of scientific knowledge to the sharing and exchange of knowledge with local industries by actively engaging in local economic development (Uyarra 2010). Previous examination has shown that most research universities contribute to local and regional economic development by various functions they provide. They are as follows: Creation of Knowledge, Human-capital creation, Transfer of existing know-how, Technological innovation, Capital investment, Regional leadership, Knowledge infrastructure production and Influence in regional milieu (Drucker and Goldstein 2007). This paper will review the existing literature on the role of universities and its impacts on local regional economic growth and development. In addition, this paper will show how two major research universities (The University of Arizona and Arizona State University) have contributed to the growth of Arizona during last two decades. It is believed that the existence of these two research universities have been instrumental in making industries more diverse and highly attractive, particularly in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area.
