The geography of research and development activity in the US

In: Handbook of Industry Studies and Economic Geography

  • Kristy Buzard
  • Gerald Carlino

Abstract

This unique Handbook examines the impacts on, and responses to, economic geography explicitly from the perspective of the behaviour, mechanics, systems and experiences of different firms in various types of industries. The industry studies approach allows the authors to explain why the economic geography of these different industries exhibits such particular and diverse characteristics.
