Abstract

There is a large body of knowledge about the regional economic growth process that some would argue contributes little to the analysis of such growth in today's "new" economy. This argument is examined in some detail and shown to exaggerate the shortcomings of what might now be considered the mainstream view of how to study the economic growth process of regions. There are nevertheless some shortcomings in the mainstream view for which new paradigms might be needed. Possible directions for future research that will remedy some of the current deficiencies in the mainstream models are explored.
