Conceptualizing the Regional Roles of Universities, Implications and Contradictions (2010, background): “Additional economy-boosting effects can be material (e.g. local provision of skilled labour) or immaterial (e.g. regional branding) interdependencies between universities and their regions (Power & Malmberg, 2008).”
The research university, entrepreneurship and regional development: Research propositions and current evidence (2012, background): “Against this background, the objective of this paper is to answer the research question: under what conditions do research universities actively engage in local and regional economies becoming more than a ‘latent asset’ (Power and Malmberg 2008)?”
From Regional Systems of Innovation to Regions as Innovation Policy Spaces (2010, background): “The paradox between Markusen's claim that fuzzy concepts remain distant from policy and the strong influence that RSI concepts seem to have had on policy discourses and initiatives (Hassink and Lagendijk, 2001; Power and Malmberg, 2008) is perhaps illusory.”
