Abstract

Globalisation increased the level of competition between regions all over the world. Although the country effect is still significant, the (competitive) advantage of regions has dramatically changed and some areas — even in some industrialised countries — are suffering a general worsening of their economic performance (i.e. GDP trends), while some others are enjoying astonishing development. The ongoing situation confirms part of the theoretical conclusions of the New Economic Geography, and, at the same time, creates a huge number of opportunities for further research on regional development.
