In order to prioritize the intervention to augment regional competitiveness, it is essential to assess the relative weights and sensitivities related to the factors of competitiveness. Improper assignment of relative weights is prominent in the case when multi-co-linearity exists among independent variables. The paper tests the suitability of multiple models for their capacity of assessing relative weights, and subsequently for forming a competitiveness index. The relative weights of critical components of economic infrastructure have been assessed with Zero-order correlation, Structure coefficient analysis, Beta coefficient analysis, Product measure analysis, Relative weight analysis, and Commonality analysis. Subsequently, regional competitiveness indices have been formed with relative weights as a linear combination. The most suitable technique to form an index has been identified through the Pearson correlation and Spearman rank correlation analyses. Multiple regression analysis assigns the relative weights and consecutively forms the regional competitiveness index, better than other applied techniques. Zero-order correlation and Structural coefficient analysis performed reasonably well. Commonality analysis is a very appropriate technique for the detailed investigation of unique and shared effects among variables. The result shows that the common effects of the critical components of the economic infrastructure are stronger than their unique effects. The sensitivity of competitiveness related to the variables has been assessed through Artificial Neural Network. Regional competitiveness is most sensitive to the variable of rural roads. The results indicate that better connectivity triggers capital and labor drain from the rural areas of the region.

Innovations are seen as an important factor of regional growth, but what influences the innovation activity of enterprises? In the regional innovation system, the set of actors interacting with each other is surrounded with a specific socio-economic environment. In the present research, the following economic and social features in a region – human capital, social capital, the level of economic development, and the existence of FDI – are analysed as possible factors of the innovation activity undertaken by enterprises. Two types of innovation activity are analysed: in-house R&D and the acquisition of machinery, software and equipment. The analysis was conducted for the years: 2004-2006, 2006-2008, 2008-2010, 2010-2012, 2012-2014, and the 16 Polish NUTS-2 regions. Based on the results of econometric panel models, innovation cooperation was found to be significant and positively related with both types of innovation activity. Moreover, public financial support and the level of foreign capital involvement were found positively related with the in-house R&D activity.

The urban poor experience serious discontents, harassment, eviction, police repression and local goons threatening when using urban space for living and livelihood purposes. This study pursues to understand the poor people’s negotiation strategies with different powerful agents who occupy money, muscleman and political affiliation. Following a mixed method approach, this study investigates the two biggest slums in Dhaka as case studies. Findings show that urban poor have to build different social-contract relations with various local agents as survival mechanisms while economic activities using urban space are considered to be illegal in Bangladesh. The role of the state is somewhat ambiguous in this regard. On the one hand, the state is not evicting the poor permanently from the city but it is repatriating them on other grounds and, on the other hand, it permits hundreds of informal intermediary agents to work for sustaining informal urban settlements for the poor people. We argue that these distinctive socio-structural arrangements in Dhaka city is hindering poor people from getting united and claiming their rights to the city while also not providing them proper opportunities to fully appropriate the urban space. These socio-economic relations need to be considered in order to make a just city for all, from the RTC perspective.
