在过去的几十年里，我们看到了城市和区域经济研究中的技能革命。从工业区位理论和阿尔弗雷德马歇尔对集聚的关注到最近对高科技区和产业集群的研究，公司和产业一直是分析的主导单位。但自20世纪90年代以来，人们越来越关注技能。这一广泛的研究方向包括人力资本研究;更广泛的创意类和职业类;以及身体，认知和社交技能等。这项研究强调了城市和大都市之间技能的地理差异越来越大，以及它们对区域创新，工资，收入和发展的影响。越来越多的文献指出，在组织和调动这些技能方面，地点越来越重要。研究的重点是便利设施、大学、多样性和其他与地点有关的因素在解释不同地点技能差异日益扩大方面的作用。本文总结了构成城市和区域研究中技能革命的关键研究路线。
The past couple of decades have seen what amounts to skills revolution in urban and regional economic research. From industrial location theory and Alfred Marshall’s concern for agglomeration to more recent research on high-tech districts and industrial clusters firms and industries has been the dominant unit of analysis. But since the 1990s there has been a growing focus on skills. This broad research thrust includes studies of human capital; the creative class and occupational class more broadly; and physical, cognitive and social skills, among others. This research highlights the growing geographic divergence of skills across cities and metros and their effects on regional innovation, wages, incomes and development broadly. A growing literature notes the growing importance of place in organizing and mobilizing these skills. Studies have focused on the role of amenities, universities, diversity and other place-related factor in accounting for the growing divergence of skills across locations. This article summarizes the key lines of research that constitute the skills revolution in urban and regional research.
