Ymchwil
My research interests are in regional economic development, specifically observing the aspects of high technology entrepreneurship, small business sustainability, knowledge spillovers, and spatial configurations of networks of economic actors. By exploring these areas I try to understand the uneven nature of economic development and what various economic actors do to overcome these spatial problems.
