"Many of Europe's early industrialized regions face similar
difficulties in finding a new engine to boost growth despite
tremendous efforts by national governments. Some outstanding
economists join forces here to understand how Scotland could
improve regional growth. In doing so they provide an integrated and
global view of the issues at stake in a way that is understandable
to many readers, and bring to the fore neglected questions. "New
Wealth for Old Nations" will lead not only decision makers but also
scholars interested in local development to look at regions and
growth in a new and more effective way."--Jacques Thisse, Center
for Operations Research and Econometrics, Universite catholique de
Louvai
"This book, dedicated to analyzing new approaches to growth in
small economies, with a particular focus on Scotland, is replete
with interesting, stimulating, and insightful chapters. Each
chapter is not only technically competent but is written in a
lively and compelling manner. Each addresses economic growth from a
broad spectrum of perspectives, spanning enterprise and innovation,
to the mobility of skilled labor, to demographics and the
governance of public services. The introduction provides an
excellent context."--David B. Audretsch, Director,
Entrepreneurship, Growth, and Public Policy Group, Max Planck
Institute
"The exceptional quality of the contributors and the skills of
the editors combine with well-balanced and comprehensive coverage
and with first-rate writing to make this book a compelling
read."--Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley
