Geography of Growth The Frequency, Nature and Consequences of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Regions of Varying Density

The aim of the 17th Uddevalla Symposium is to gather high-quality contributions that bring new theoretical and/or new empirical knowledge of these issues. A key theme of the symposium is how and why the frequency, nature and consequences of entrepreneurship and innovation vary across different types of regions, in particular across regions of varying density. Improved knowledge of these questions is crucial for our understanding of the overall geography of growth.
