Selected Essays of Peter Nijkamp: Transport systems and policy

Published simultaneously with three other volumes containing thematically grouped essays by Nijkamp (economics, Free U., the Netherlands) and collaborators, this collection contains 19 papers the author considers to be "novel contributions to the spatial- economic analysis of innovation, entrepreneurship and urban and regional development." Originally appearing between 1989 and 2002, the essays examine the theoretical bases of spatial analysis of economic growth and innovation; include macro and regional studies, as well as micro sector- and firm-level studies; and explore applications related to urban and regional policy.
