The Economics of Disappearing Distance, Paperback / softback Book

The Economics of Disappearing Distance Paperback / softback

Edited by Ake E. Andersson

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Paperback / softback

Description

This title was first published in 2003. This book focuses on the role of tangible and intangible networks that affect spatial interdependencies in economic and social life.

It addresses the question - is the effect of distance disappearing?

In examining this question the book considers the types of interaction that bring about globalisation of markets as well as social life in general and the distortion of distance patterns and changes in spatial interdependencies.

The contributions elaborate theory and methods by examining hierarchical fields of internal and external influence on regional change; sources of productivity growth in a network of industries, endogenous growth and development policies.

The book concludes with an assessment of plan evaluation methodologies for a changing and globalizing world characterized by new economic networks and networking arrangements.
