The growth in night lights-taken as a proxy for regional economic activity-reveals overwhelming evidence of absolute convergence. Regional differences in night light (or income) growth have been shrinking at an annual convergence rate of 4.57%, corresponding to a half-life of 15 years. Net migration plays a relatively prominent role in the regional convergence process.

Thus, it was easy to penetrate the local, migrated and international community, since the university hosted lots of foreign stud...

In view of the importance of Free Trade both In the history of economics as well as in Adam Smith's own conceptual scheme it is worth examining this difference more closely. After describing the axiomatic basis for Free-Trade, as developed primarily in Book. IV of the Wealth of Nations , in the rest of the Introduction, section II goes on to quote from the Lectures on Jurisprudence to illustrate how the argument there differs from that in the Wealth of Nations. Section III considers the possible significance of the change in argument, which moves us away from the utilitarian framework of the "Mercantilist" literature towards the economic aspects of the natural-law tradition of moral philosophers, while Section IV considers how the change in argument may have Influenced the perception of Smith as a "politician." The argument in the Wealth of Nations , it will be recalled, is based on three axioms. Al. Individuals wish to maximize wealth. A2. Individuals know better than governments how to maximize their own wealth. A3. National wealth is the sum of individual wealth. Al and A2 establish that a policy of non-interference will make individuals richest, while A3 makes this policy socially optimal also. So

James Anderson, Fisheries and Regional Economic Development in Scotland

Anderson’s primary concern however was the economic development of Scotland and he had a say in the policy measures undertaken in the 1780s. This article presents Andersons far sighted views on Infrastructure, Regional planning and the development of new industries in a poor economy such as Scotland was in the 1780s.
