- Regional worlds: from related variety in regional diversification to strategic coupling in global production networks (2020, methodology): “Few studies have examined the agents of such structural change in regions (e.g., Elekes et al., 2019; Frangenheim et al., 2020; Grillitsch & Sotarauta, 2020; Neffke et al., 2018).”
- Industrial Diversification in Europe: The Differentiated Role of Relatedness (2018, background): “For instance, it is extremely complex to diversify into pharmaceuticals when specialized in aerospace, since both activities are not related: the distance between their underlying capability bases is large (Neffke et al. 2018).”
- Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, neutral): “…is increasing evidence that more unrelated diver-si fi cation comes from the outside, through the inter-regional mobility of entrepreneurs and fi rms. Neffke et al. (2016) showed that new plants from outside the region, and not so much local start-ups, introduce more unrelated diversi fi cation…”
- Agency and actors in regional industrial path development. A framework and longitudinal analysis (2020, background): “Innovative entrepreneurs take risks to enter new terrain and thereby support regional industrial renewal processes (Rypestøl, 2017; Neffke et al., 2018; Grillitsch, 2018).”
- Related variety and economic development: a literature review (2016, background): “Note that most studies also take into account a competition variable, following Porter’s (1990) work on the advantages of competition (in clusters).”
- Exogenous sources of regional industrial change (2018, background): “Neffke et al. (2014) have shown that it is relocating firms and not so much regional start-ups and incumbents that introduce most structural change (creation of new industries that require new capabilities instead of existing capabilities) in Swedish regions.”
