Employment Growth of Small High-technology Firms and the Role of Horizontal Clustering
This paper provides new evidence that, controlling for other effects, the growth of employment in high-technology SMEs depends on the initial horizontal clustering. The paper focuses on employment change over the period 1991-2000 in computing services and research and development (R&D) industries analysed at the local and county level within Great Britain. A new measure is proposed to map clustering in each sector. In the main section of the pape…
Foreign Manufacturing Investment in the United Kingdom and the Upgrading of Supplier Practices
POTTER J., MOORE B. und SPIRES R. (2003) Foreign manufacturing investment in the United Kingdom and the upgrading of supplier practices, Reg. Studies 37 , 41-60. This paper shows that the practices and competitiveness of UK suppliers have been improved by inward foreign manufacturing investment. Greenfield, large and North American or European investors were the most likely to have such impacts, particularly on their manufacturing suppliers. Bene…
The wider effects of inward foreign direct investment in manufacturing on UK industry
This paper examines the wider effects of inward foreign direct investment (FDI) to the UK on improving the practices and competitiveness of domestic industry. Surveyed domestic suppliers, competitors, and customers to foreign investors reported extensive positive impacts on their practices, focused particularly on reductions in X‐inefficiencies, and on their competitiveness, although in the case of competitors benefits had to be balanced against …
University–business interaction in the Oxford and Cambridge regions
This paper explores the interplay of factors that produce specific local patterns of interaction between firms and universities, using survey evidence from a comparative study of two e ́lite locations, the Oxford and Cambridge regions. It uses these examples to examine why innovating firms have external links, why they have them with universities, which spatial mechanisms are significant in the place‐specific technology transfer links universitie…
UK Enterprise Zones and the Attraction of Inward Investment
This paper assesses the contribution of inward investment to economic regeneration in UK Enterprise Zones using survey data from a government-sponsored national evaluation. Results indicate that by providing tax incentives and stimulating infrastructure improvements, policy attracted a group of inward investors that accounted for nearly one-third of employment in the zones at de-designation and a high proportion of new local jobs. The local impac…
Collective Learning Processes, Networking and ‘Institutional Thickness' in the Cambridge Region
KEEBLE D., LAWSON C., MOORE B. and WILKINSON F. (1999) Collective learning processes, networking and ‘institutional thickness' in the Cambridge region, Reg. Studies 33 , 319-332 . The paper investigates the nature and extent of regional collective learning processes and networking by innovative, technology based, small and medium sized enterprises(SMEs)in the Cambridge region. It highlights the importance of socio-cultural preconditions for learn…
The Influence of Regional Development Incentives and Infrastructure on the Location of Small and Medium Sized Companies in Europe
Greater levels of economic integration within Europe will bring more intense competition, not least for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper identifies the key factors in the SME location decision from a survey of almost 1400 companies. The most important factor was the availability of regional development assistance, followed by the quality and size of the labour supply, including wage levels, and the potential for future expans…
Developments in New South Wales Public Administration
There are probably more changes taking place in public administration than at any previous time. In some sectors (like health) staff are now used to change; it has become a normal part of their everyday life. In other sectors (like road transport) it is a new experience. Some changes are the latest chapter in a long and continuing story. Clear objectives, downstream autonomy and performance monitoring have been issues for as long as most public s…

Geographical Variations in Industrial Costs
This paper presents the findings of research whose objective was to investigate the extent of geographical var iations in industrial costs in England. The emphasis in the analysis undertaken was to assess whether there were differences in industrial costs between mainly rural and mainly urban areas, but also between broad regional areas with particular reference to a comparison of cos t differences between areas which qualified for regional polic…
The Rate Burden
TYLER P., MOORE B. C. and RHODES J. (1988) The rate burden: an accounting framework for assessing the effect of local taxes on business, Reg. Studies 22, 387–398. During recent years there has been considerable interest in the effects which non-domestic rates (the local business tax) may be having on the competitiveness of British industry. Most discussion has been poorly informed because of the lack of an accounting framework with which to asses…

New South Wales
New South Wales easily retained its reputation as the State of commotion. Politicians and administrators during the past twelve months have lived through interesting times. Things are out in the open, at least. A rich and varied range of inquiries has been tackling problems which have remained hidden for decades. Hard items on the agenda of administrative reform are at last receiving attention. Courts and parliamentary procedures are being revita…

This is a revised version of a paper given to the Regional Studies Conference in Glasgow in May 1981. The authors were asked to put forward the views of the Cambridge Economic Policy Group (CEPG) on the economy as a whole and to draw out any implications for the UK regions. A diagnosis of the UK economic problem and its region…

Regional Economic Policy and the Movement of Manufacturing Firms to Development Areas
This paper presents new evidence and analysis on the effectiveness of regional policy in the United Kingdom in the postwar period. The evidence relates to the movement of manufacturing firms into from other regions of the United Kingdom and abroad-and thus provides information on one of the major mechanisms at work in creating employment in these regions of high unemployment. The analysis is designed to estimate the impact of different instrument…
