Targeting regional economic development (TRED) has a long and
rich tradition among academic economists and in the world of
economic development practitioners. This book builds on a series of
workshops and papers organized by The Northeast Regional Center for
Rural Development (NERCRD) at the Pennsylvania State University and
the Rural Policy Research Centre (RUPRI) at the University of
Missouri. Through the coordinated efforts of NERCRD and RUPRI, a
network of university based researchers and Extension education
specialists was developed and provides the foundation of this new
edited volume.
For the first time in a single book, Goetz, Deller and Harris
present an innovative approach through a collection of chapters
discussing industry targeting and the relevance of TRED as an
important analytical tool for practical targeting purposes. The
papers present issues surrounding community economic development,
clusters in industry and rural communities and the role of
agglomeration economies. The book provides the reader with insights
into not only the theoretical foundations of targeting as well as
empirical methods, but also approaches for using the
community-level analysis to affect policy directions.
