The Importance of Regional Export Development and a Specialised Local Supply Chain on the Development of Australia's Regions

“…Empirical analysis of regional employment specialisation and its impact on regional economies has been the subject of a number of studies world-wide (see for example Lilien, 1982;Wren & Taylor, 1999;Dissart, 2003;Izraeli & Murphy, 2003;Marelli, 2004;Shearmur & Pol ese, 2005;Belke & Heine, 2006;Mizuno et al, 2006;Robson, 2006Robson, , 2009Suedekum, 2006;Frenken et al, 2007;Deller & Watson, 2016) and a relatively smaller group of studies with a specific Australian orientation (see for example Bradley & Gans, 1998;Trendle, 2006;Beer & Clower, 2009;Dixon & Freebairn, 2009;Stimson et al, 2009 andHicks et al, 2014). Taken overall, the findings from these studies have lacked consistency.…”

“…Thus, in assessing the impact of the "linkage factors" on a region's employment it may prove enlightening to assess the impact on the changes in employment identified as resulting from the competitive effectsthe last term in Equation 14, an approach used by Stimson et al (2009). We therefore hypothesise that:…”

“…The general focus of our paper is the economies of regional Australia and, more specifically, the development of employment opportunities within these regions. Other writers have also raised the issue of marked differences in labour market conditions across regional Australia (see for example Soul & Dollery, 2000;Beer et al, 2003;Freebairn, 2003;Stimson et al, 2009;Davies et al, 2009;Beer, 2012;Daley et al, 2017). Garnett and Lewis (2007) adopted a more detailed spatial classification of five main regionscapital cities, other metropolitan, coastal, inland and remote.…”

Competitiveness of Hungarian Urban Micro-regions: Localization Agglomeration Economies and Regional Competitiveness Function

“…The importance of traded sectors and regional specialization is pointed out by Porter (2003Porter ( , 2008, Stimson, Robson, and Shyy (2009), while Acs and Szerb (2007), Fischer and Nijkamp (2009) and Varga (2006and Varga ( , 2007 stresses the importance of innovation and knowledge spillover. Sociological research alludes to the importance of social capital (and territorial capital), brought to the attention of regionalists by Camagni (2009), Faggian and McCann (2009), Florida (2002 and Glaeser (2008).…”

Using functional economic regions to model endogenous regional performance in Australia: implications for addressing the spatial autocorrelation problem

“… across non‐metropolitan LGAs in Australia (Stimson et al. 2008; 2009a; 2009b); and across metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in the US (Stough et al.…”
