Routledge Regional Economics of Technological Transformations - Industry 4.0

The Regional Economics of Technological Transformations offers a comprehensive analysis of how Industry 4.0 and servitisation are reshaping European regions. Drawing on extensive original data and robust quantitative methods, this Routledge publication examines technological change across all 27 EU countries plus the UK, revealing the socio-economic impacts at the regional level. The book is structured in four parts, beginning with conceptual definitions and empirical measurements before exploring expected impacts on economic performance. This evidence-based study provides researchers, policymakers and economists with critical insights into how technological transformations vary across regions and what these changes mean for Europe's economic future and competitiveness.
