Book excerpt: Provides an overview of the main developments in performance among OECD regions and the challenges for regional policy after the crisis. The first two chapters present fresh analysis of regional growth and labor-market trends, exploring their implications for policy. This is followed by three chapters offering focused analyses of key policy issues. The first concerns the state of sub-national government finances in the wake of the crisis and its implications for managing public investment, in particular, during a period of austerity. The next two chapters are concerned with the potential contribution of regions and regional policies to addressing the longer-term challenges of innovation and green growth. Part 3 presents a "policy forum", a wide-ranging debate on the role of regional policy.--Publisher description
