This article examines the spatial patterns of private sector and public sector non-agricultural jobs in rural Northeast Thailand. The results show that public jobs are over-represented in rural–remote regions, driving up the mean wage of this type
of region. When considering private sector employment only, spatial wage and income differentials do exist, showing that workers in remote areas are economically more disadvantaged than workers in peri-urban area.

This article assesses productivity growth across Spanish regions and industries through a production-frontier approach. It is shown that capital deepening is the primary contributor to productivity growth, closely followed by human capital
and technological change. Analysis of sectoral data shows marked differences in productivity performance; and aggregate productivity growth is driven by intra-sectoral productivity dynamics rather than by structural change.

This paper tests the link between the creative industries and wage and employment growth in a panel of travel-to-work areas from 2003 to 2008. The results suggest the creative industries drive both wage and employment growth in other sectors
. However, when only urban areas are considered the creative industries drive wage growth but do not increase employment. These findings are consistent with the idea that the creative industries help other sectors grow, but may squeeze out declining

This industry is an unusual case of indigenous growth with limited foreign ownership. Its growth is explained by the special nature of PCB production, local demand conditions, the sector's organisational structure, and government support. The sector
is best conceptualised as part of a wider division of labour within the regional electronics industry rather than a distinct, closely connected cluster.
