Call For Papers – 18th Uddevalla Symposium 2015

Regional development in an international context Regional, national, cross border and international factors for growth and development

June 11-13, 2015

Venue: University of Southern Denmark, Alsion, Sønderborg, Denmark

Abstract Submission Deadline: January 16th, 2015

The aim of the 18th Uddevalla Symposium is to gather high-quality contributions that bring new theoretical and/or new empirical knowledge of these issues. A central purpose of the symposium is to investigate how economic growth and development are affected by inter and intraregional linkages and spillovers. In this context theoretical and empirical investigations of the economic, social and institutional environment on different layers in economic regions are needed. Of particular interest are studies of innovation, entrepreneurship and human capital, together with assessments of the integration of the regional economy at large into the European and global production system. In this perspective studies of different types of regions with regard to factor endowment, firms and instructional setting as well as the nature of interregional activities (i.e. trade, commuting, innovation cooperation or FDI etc.) are of particular interest.
