The spatial impact of entrepreneurial zones: firm, city and inter-city evidence
研究欧洲新兴经济体十年大型公共创业基础设施投资计划，发现创业区对企业投资、销售和出口收入有正面影响，但仅限于本地及邻近城镇，且随距离增加而减弱甚至转为负面。
We investigate the impact of a decade-long, large public entrepreneurial infrastructure investment programme in an emerging European economy. Using a unique data set, we examine the short-run firm city and inter-city effects of entrepreneurial zones (EZs). EZs have a positive impact on business investment, sales and especially the export revenues of firms located within them. The positive economic effects of EZs are limited to host and neighbouring towns and cities, decrease with distance, and eventually become negative. This points to the localized nature of the effects of EZs and their potential for spatial redistribution and clustering of economic activity.
