Is your region in a #DevelopmentTrap ? We identify regions in #Europe experiencing long periods of low #growth , weak #productivity , low #employment creation, or even employment loss. Many of these trapped areas are traditionally well-off regions.

Concentrating #innovation in a smaller number of bigger and more specialized regions can possibly raise the overall rate of innovation, but at the expense of other regions being deprived of the possibility of becoming innovative in the future

#Development does not fall like manna from heaven. It requires having the right diagnosis, a clear #vision , and putting in place the necessary #policies to attract and retain #talent . @OECD offers the toolkit to do precisely that:

The returns of regional #autonomy are cosiderably greater in #regions with better #institutions . Being surrounded by regions with high levels of #autonomy & high government quality increases the advantages of #decentralisation .

This is the map of the #geography of #EU discontent, considering the votes for parties moderately opposed to EU integration. The conditions that brought about #Brexit are present in many countries. Restoring hope is more urgent than ever. #EURegionsWeek

Is economic geography worse off because many of its members are moving to business schools? Or are geographers becoming more influential? "Threat or opportunity? On the ‘cross-corridor diaspora’ of British economic geographers", just out in @envplana .

Can smart growth lead to inclusive #growth ? #Smart growth, through related diversification in low-complexity industries, can certainly drive local #inclusive growth. Thought-provoking @RegionalStudies article by @nick_corti , @DongmiaoZhang & Boschma.

#COVID ー19 will exacerbate, rather than reduce, regional #inequality . Capital and wealthy regions have a far higher capacity for #remoteworking than lagging and declining areas. Excellent " #OECD Regions and Cities at a Glance 2020."

Most Smart Specialization ( #S3 ) strategies include far too many axes of intervention and the norm is that there is limited coincidence with the strengths and specialisation of the territories for which the strategies were developed

#Decentralization works best when autonomous #regions are surrounded by others with high levels of government quality. This triggers #competition learning processes, resulting in policy innovation and in more efficient delivery of public goods and services

#Geography is no longer the limiting factor it once was for innovation. Local #innovation activity benefits enormously from being connected to external #knowledge pools. Great new paper by @MartinObschonka , @sam_tavassoli & colleagues in Research Policy.

Today, 135 million, one third of the #EU population, lives in regions with #GDP per capita lower than in 2000 or with near zero #growth . This situation gives rise to considerable economic and political risks & challenges EU values.
