The role of collaborative networks in supporting the innovation performances of lagging-behind European regions (2018, background): “In this light, peripheral regions are typically characterised by a lower GNP per capita (well below 75% of the EU average, which was the threshold for eligibility to receive financial support in many EU development projects), higher unemployment rates, and a less developed regional economy (Morgan, ”
An Agenda for a Growing Europe: The Sapir Report (2004, background): “25 See the next section and Puga (2002) and references therein.”
An Agenda for a Reformed Cohesion Policy A place-based approach to meeting European Union challenges and expectations (2008, background): “They are the result of around 60 15 See Drabenstott, M. (2005).”
Putting New Economic Geography to the Test: Free-Ness of Trade and Agglomeration in the EU Regions (2005, background): “With wage rigidity (Faini, 1999, Puga, 2002) we return to the Tomahawk chart because agglomeration by definition does not lead to a wage differential between regions and there will be no thus wage gap (and even no wage cost differential) between core and peripheral regions.”
California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “For more on this issue and, more generally, on spatial policies at a larger spatial scale, see Martin (1999), Puga (2002), Ottaviano (2003), and Combes et al. (2005).”
Regional convergence and growth in Europe: understanding patterns and determinants (2011, background): “This is because convergence at the European level has been partly driven by the dynamism of the metropolitan centres, causing dualistic phenomena at the national level (Dunford, 1994; Abraham and Van Rompuy, 1995; Puga, 2002; Hudson, 2003; Petrakos et al., 2005a, 2005b).”
Regional inequality in Europe: evidence, theory and policy implications (2019, neutral): “…a high-speed train line between two very unequal territories often reinforces centralisation and can lead to de-industrialisation, fewer locally provided services, and a decline in local commerce in areas that, de facto , become annexed hinterlands of the more powerful regions (Puga, 2002).”
The Rise of the “City-region” Concept and its Development Policy Implications (2008, background): “…suggesting that geographical spread or trickle-down effects rarely work, and are often outweighed by backwash effects (Hanson, 1998; Hanson & Harrison, 1999; Puga, 2002), and that in a globalized world the concentration of economic activity is more frequent than its dispersal (Sassen, 2001, p. 87).”
Efficiency and spatial equity impacts of high-speed rail extensions in urban areas (2013, methodology): “However, this strategy would have a negative impact on equity, as it would lead tomore polarized patterns of spatial development: richer cities are likely to gainmore, while disadvantaged citieswould end up in a comparatively worse situation (Martin, 1997; Martínez & Givoni, 2009; Puga, 2002).”
Growth, Integration, and Regional Disparities in the European Union (2005, background): “From a policy perspective, our findings provide new evidence for the increasing number of voices that suggest the need to revise current EU regional development policies (Boldrin and Canova, 2001; Puga, 2002; Rodr|̈guez-Pose and Fratesi, 2004).”
Models of regional growth: past, present and future (2011, neutral): “…studies find little or no evidence for convergence (e.g. with respect to EU regions: Cuadrado-Roura, 2001; Lopez-Bazo et. al., 1999; Magrini, 1999; Puga, 2002; and Rodriguez-Pose, 1999), the results obtained are often significantly influenced by outliers in the data, while typically those that…”
Do migrants follow market potentials? An estimation of a new economic geography model (2004, background): “They have also engendered considerable interest from researchers and policymakers, especially in the European Union, where there is concern that further integration and successive enlargements may threaten regional cohesion (Puga, 2002).”
Is There a Global Link between Regional Disparities and Devolution? (2004, background): “The trend is widespread, encompassing China (Lu and Wang, 2002; Yao and Zhang, 2001), India (Bandyopadhyay, 2003), the USA (Bernat, 2001), Mexico (Sänchez-Reaza and Rodr|̈guez-Pose, 2002), Brazil (Azzoni, 2001), and most of Europe (Petrakos, 2001; Puga, 2002), among others.”
Regional disparities in the European Union and the enlargement process: an exploratory spatial data analysis, 1995–2000 (2006, neutral): “…are allocated to helping areas lagging behind in their development ( “ Objective 1 ” ) where the GDP is below 75% of the Community average in PPS. Puga (2002) underlines the fact that if a similar criterion was applied to the United States, only two States (Mississippi and Virginia) would have…”
Selective Migration, Regional Growth and Convergence: Evidence from Italy (2014, background): “It is likely that in countries like the United States, where migration is high and income differentials relatively low, migration helps explain the relatively flat economic space (PUGA, 2002).”
