2016 BARCELONA WORKSHOP ON REGIONAL AND URBAN ECONOMICS

 Innovation, networks and the geography of knowledge diffusion

Barcelona, October 27th-28th 2016

Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Barcelona

Dear Colleagues,

AQR-IREA is pleased to announce the 2016 Barcelona Workshop on Regional and Urban Economics, to be held in Barcelona on October 27th-28th, 2016.

The workshop will be focused on innovation and the spatial diffusion of knowledge with emphasis in collaboration networks. Its aim is to bring together researchers in urban and regional economics who are working in topics where the broad concept of the geography of innovation plays a fundamental role. Particular attention will be paid to papers dealing with the mechanisms and actors of knowledge diffusion (knowledge spillovers, networks, technological collaboration, and knowledge relatedness). Although the Workshop will focus on empirical papers, theoretical studies are also welcome.

The keynotes speakers will be:

  • Maryann Feldman (Department of Public Policy at the University of North Carolina)
  •   Karen Maguire (Regional Innovation Unit of the OECD Regional Development Policy Division)

Audience:We will accommodate around 8-10 papers, to be presented in plenary sessions that will complement the keynote speakers’ presentation.

Important dates:

  • Deadline for papers submission: September 9th 2016 (Papers should be sent in pdf format to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Extended abstracts or incomplete drafts will also be considered, but full papers will be favoured)
