Frédéric Carluer et al., « The Core and Periphery of the European Space: Empirical Analysis of Concentration and Diffusion », L’Espace géographique, ID : 10670/1.3b3521...
This article presents an empirical analysis of the transformations of the European regional space, especially the agglomeration of economic and research activities and sectoral specialisations in 'central' and 'peripheral' regions. In particular, this paper shows that the growing concentration of industrial activities has not taken place at the expense of peripheral regions (although there has been increased intensity of specialisation) and that the concentration of the research effort, biased in favour of central regions, has decreased slightly in the two last decades.
