Entrepreneurial Competition and Industrial Location
Investigating the Structural Patterns and Intangible Sources of Competitive Performance
9781840644302 爱德华·埃尔加出版社
Entrepreneurial Competition and Industrial Location explores the notion of entrepreneurial competition from its theoretical foundations in early Austrian and contemporary evolutionary economics. Focusing on the structural development of the intangible factors of production such as labour skills, advertising and research and development, the book’s empirical implications are tested in a comparative study of competitive performance in the EU, Japan and the USA. Typical mechanisms of external spillovers, shaping industrial location by means of Marshallian cluster formation, highlight the dimension of industrial location. Peneder finally employs the three evolutionary principles of variation, cumulation and selection to establish entrepreneurship, learning and fair markets as the main pillars of modern competitiveness policy. This volume paves the way for a better understanding of the market process, demonstrating the importance of intangible factors as sources of competitive advantage both by conclusive theoretical argument and careful empirical investigation.

‘Peneder的书是我们对全球化经济中竞争过程的理解的有趣贡献。他提出了经验措施和行业排名，这些措施考虑了无形的投资和人力资源的影响。这有助于解释专业化和行业的位置。由于竞争政策作为剩下的少数国民经济政策工具之一的重要性稳定增长，因此本书的结果非常重要。这本书清楚地写着和高度自我包含的工具和理论背景 - 对于研究人员和政客来说，这本书都是必不可少的阅读。’
