2012 BARCELONA WORKSHOP ON REGIONAL AND URBAN ECONOMICS
AQR-IREA will host the Workshop on Innovation and Regional Economic Performance on October 18th-19th 2012 in Barcelona.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together cutting-edge research papers on innovation and knowledge diffusion, and their linkages with regional economic performance. Particular attention will be paid to papers dealing with the mechanisms and actors of innovation and knowledge diffusion (knowledge spillovers, networks, skilled labour mobility, university-industry linkages).
Keynote speakers
Karen Maguire (Regional Innovation Unit, OECD)
Philip McCann (University of Groningen)
