Regional GDP before GDP : A methodological survey of historical national accounts
- 2019
-
In: Regional Economic Development and History. - 9781138334137 - 9780429445545 ; , s. 82-97
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Regional Studies is inextricably intertwined with history. Cultural and institutional legacies inform choices between different policy options, meaning that the past plays a crucial role in how we think about regional economic development, planning and policy.Through a selection of accessible theoretical, methodological and empirical chapters, this book explores the connections between regional development and history. Drawing on the expertise of scholars in several disciplines, it links history to topics such as behavioural geography, interdependence, divergence and regional and urban policy.This innovative book will be of interest to researchers across regional studies, planning, economic geography and economic history.

Comparative research designs : Interdependence as a challenge and opportunity in regional studies
- 2020
-
In: Regional economic development and history. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 9781138334137 - 9780429445545 ; , s. 98--116
-
Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- How can social science and historical approaches combine in order to enrich the regional studies theme? This chapter focuses on designs for small-N comparative research, specifically the problem of how to apply systematically structured synchronic and diachronic comparisons as a means to analyze interdependence. We hold that comparative sequence design (CSD) poses an important methodological option in that perspective. In contrast to standard research designs, such as cross-sectional design and development design (“historical case studies”), CSD allows for both systematic (i) cross-unit and cross-case comparisons as well as (ii) within-unit analyses. It (iii) opens up for the use of process-oriented models with a focus on explaining developmental outcomes among sub-national level units, and thereby (iv) facilitates analysis of both spatial, temporal and temporal-spatial interdependence among sub-national level units (regions). CSD provides a tool for examining e.g. policy-making and policy diffusion as dynamic, historically contingent processes; and, from the perspective of the historical disciplines, allows analysts to move beyond the limits of traditional case studies of regions and localities.
