In consequence of emissions trading with carbondioxide certificates considerable spatial effects should be expected. Therefore, the question, of what kind these effects will be, should be asked at an early stage so that spatial planning can prepare
for them. The analyses of the paper, which due to the lack of experience and consequently of quantitative data can only be of an exploratory kind, show that the spatial effects shall vary greatly. Most probably the consequences will hit the old-industrial

Knowledge spillovers are subject to distance decay effects. The main aim is to provide a theoretical framework and empirical evidence on the role played by other kinds of proximities in explaining productivity growth. A sample of EU regions
