The Impact of Intelligent Development on Geographically Adjacent and Economically Equivalent Regions

Geographically proximate areas are susceptible to the deleterious effects of intelligent development, while regions with commensurate levels of economic development have the potential to derive advantages from mitigating the misallocation of human capital that arises from intelligent development. This paper investigates the complex interplay between intelligent development and regional disparities, highlighting the potential for both negative externalities and positive spillover effects.
