Abstract

Nowadays, more and more scholars of regional science are interested in the role of agglomeration economies in the knowledge-based economy. This issue can be dealt with from different points of view: different development types of functional or nodal regions with the examination of the factors influencing regional competitiveness. In this paper, we outline our analytical framework: the renewed pyramidal model of regional competitiveness. The renewed pyramidal model is a logical systematization for measuring endogenous regional development and the factors influencing it; the model shall be used to introduce the regional competitiveness function (RCF). After introducing theoretical model and new function, we are going to investigate the competitiveness of Hungarian urban microregions (LAU1), where firms potentially enjoy localization agglomeration economies. The statistical analysis to underline the classification of microregions by competitiveness types is based on multivariate linear regression models
