Course Syllabus

Abstract

This global class is a joint course of Florida State University (FSU) and Higher School of Economics (HSE), St Petersburg, Russia. It embraces cluster-oriented economic development strategies in a global setting. Industrial clusters are co-location of firms and workers in related industries, with Silicon Valley as a famous example. In recent years, many nations and regions have adopted cluster-promoting strategies to encourage local economic development, create jobs, boost innovation and prompt entrepreneurship. In this course, we take a project-based approach and center around cross-continental joint projects to explore effective ways of cluster development, apply comprehensive methods to track the performance of industrial clusters, and formulate policy recommendations to improve their functionality.

Learning Objectives

In this course, we’ll take a project-based approach and center around cross-continental joint projects to explore effective ways of urban economic development, apply comprehensive methods to track the performance of different regions, and formulate policy recommendations to improve local development, create jobs, boost innovation and prompt entrepreneurship.
