Abstract
|
The aims of this intensive two-day workshop are to bring together an international group of researchers with an interest in multinational strategies, trade and FDI, and re-gional economic development; to present and discuss research findings on the effect of trade, investments and labor mobility on the performance of urban systems; and, to ex-plore opportunities for joint research by exploring a research agenda “Multinational Strategies, Networks and Regional Economic Development" by taking an interdisci-plinary perspective combining insights from economic geography, international eco-nomics, and international business. Presented papers will be considered for publication in a volume by an international recognized journal and/or publisher. Themes include: We are happy to announce that Prof. dr. Roberto Basile, Prof. dr. Philip McCann, and Prof. dr. Klaus Meyer will present keynote lectures. The venue of the workshop is the Woudestein campus of the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands. For more information on Rotterdam, see http://www.rotterdam.nl/home_english.
