Synopsis
The economics of regional clusters, where business formation, technological innovation, and the emergence of a highly-skilled labor force converge, has become a popular topic. This fascinating book applies a variety of tools and models to analyze, in depth, the formation and growth of high-tech clusters. It does this first by exploring the institutional forces that promote the failure or success of such agglomerations, and then by focusing on the dynamics of the labor force.

From the reviews:

"To provide an operational definition early on, to help guide the reader ... . book is a quick read, and is generally accessible to scholars and students with an intermediate background in econometrics or applied statistics. ... greatest interest to regional scientists, economists, and economic geographers who are already familiar with contemporary research on knowledge spillovers and network externalities and want to keep up with new empirical results." (Henry Renski, Journal of Regional Science, Vol. 50 (2), 2010)
