Can the periphery survive innovation-led growth? Insights from Israel
This article explores the question of the integration ability of peripheral regions into innovation-led growth. While previous research has suggested that peripheral regions may be at a disadvantage, recent studies have argued that there may be potential benefits to their integration into the innovation process. This article offers a different approach for the examination of this controversy. First, it uses knowledge-based occupations as a measur…
Peripheral implications of national innovation
Despite the growing importance of innovation and technological advancement in stimulating economic growth, their impact on peripheral regions is not completely clear. Two contradictory effects are analysed in the literature: new growth opportunities and the tendency toward geographical concentration of innovation. This study contributes to the literature by distinguishing between the impact of the national innovation trend on the economic structu…

The Value of Job Security
Patterns of Cooperation in High-Tech—Constraints, Feasibility, and Benefits
The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians in the development of economic activities based on advanced technologies. We conducted an exploratory study in order to evaluate the attitudes of Israelis and Palestinians toward barriers and inhibiting factors. We also looked at possible models of cooperation and their economic and sociopolitical benefits, as well as the policy measures th…
Minorities as a resource not as a burden
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify patterns of development that fit the unique attributes of minorities living in peripheral regions and determine the role of public policy in stimulating such patterns. Design/methodology/approach First, a theoretical model is developed for development measures to be considered for minorities living in a peripheral area, the case of the Bedouins in Israel is analyzed, using secondary data, questionn…
The Gap between Free Market and Social Optimum in the Location Decision of Economic Activity
This article presents a simplified model for comparison of the spatial distribution (core—periphery) of economic activity resulting from free market conditions, with the distribution that would lead to a social optimum. It further examines the public policy measures required to lead the economy towards the optimal distribution. Simulations are conducted to illustrate the mechanism of intervention of public policy and to test the feasibility of va…
From Metropolis to Metropolis-based Region
The decreasing relative importance of major metropolitan areas in the distribution of population and economic activity within many nations of the developed world raises questions about the emergence of agglomeration diseconomies and the associated changes in spatial structure. Here, we explore the thesis that a metropolis-based region (MBR), comprising the metropolis and a surrounding territory, has come to replace the metropolis as the appropria…
Entrepreneurship and rural industrialization
Technological Profile and Industrial Structure
BAR-EL R. and FELSENSTEIN D. (1989) Technological profile and industrial structure: implications for the development of sophisticated industry in peripheral areas, Reg. Studies 23, 253–266. This paper outlines the prospects for the development of sophisticated industry in peripheral and semi-peripheral areas. The debate on this issue usually presents a rigid and bifurcated image of large capital-intensive plants in the periphery and the seemingly…

Industrial Dispersion as an Instrument for the Achievement of Development Goals
Agricultural growth has been considered as the chief source of rural development, but recently alternative strategies have focused upon industrial development. This new thrust has taken the form of
