This title was first published in 2003. This book focuses on the role of tangible and intangible networks that affect spatial interdependencies in economic and social life. It addresses the question - is the effect of distance disappearing? In examining this question the book considers the types of interaction that bring about globalisation of markets as well as social life in general and the distortion of distance patterns and changes in spatial interdependencies. The contributions elaborate theory and methods by examining hierarchical fields of internal and external influence on regional change; sources of productivity growth in a network of industries, endogenous growth and development policies. The book concludes with an assessment of plan evaluation methodologies for a changing and globalizing world characterized by new economic networks and networking arrangements.

Reviews for The Economics of Disappearing Distance

'This timely collection of papers offers a modern perspective on the interdependencies inherent in spatial development. The papers consider spatial models of equilibrium processes with interactions, externalities, and network effects. The choice of topics and contributors makes it a fine volume.' Professor John M. Quigley, University of California, Berkeley, USA
