Relatedness, external linkages and regional innovation in Europe (2018, unknown): “1 This allows us to test whether breakthrough innovations draw more on unrelated and distant pieces of knowledge, as ideas with high impact tend to stem from knowledge cross-fertilization and the combination of unrelated technologies (Fleming, 2001; Saviotti and Frenken, 2008).”
Linking Economic Complexity, Institutions and Income Inequality (2015, background): “…towards products that are similar (i.e. connected in the product space) to the products that they currently export (Frenken, Oort & Verburg, 2007; Saviotti & Frenken, 2008; Boschma & Iammarino, 2009; Hidalgo et al., 2007; Hidalgo & Hausmann, 2009; Neffke, Henning & Boschma, 2011; Hausmann et…”
Related variety and economic development: a literature review (2016, methodology): “Using OECD export data on a national level, Saviotti and Frenken (2008) later found related export variety to stimulate GDP growth per capita and labour productivity, while unrelated export variety only promotes growth with a considerable time lag.”
Economic Complexity and Environmental Performance: Evidence from a World Sample (2019, background): “The measure of economic complexity—which is explained in Appendix—quantifies a country’s productive structure taking into account the sophistication of its exported goods relative to the sophistication of exported goods of the other countries and capturing differences in countries’ industrial struct”
Industrial Diversification in Europe: The Differentiated Role of Relatedness (2018, background): “This is not unexpected, as new capabilities required for related diversification are easier to acquire and less costly when being close to existing local capabilities (Saviotti and Frenken 2008).”
Opening up the ‘Jacobs Spillovers’ black box: local diversity, creativity and the processes underlying new combinations (2011, background): “these effects on different time scales (Saviotti and Frenken, 2008), it also shows that diversity is a complex and heterogeneous phenomenon (Bishop and Gripaios, 2009).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “…to develop new growth paths in the long run, or whether regions have to diversify in more unrelated activities now and then, that is, making new combinations between unrelated domains that become related as soon as these domains connect (SAVIOTTI, 1996; SAVIOTTI and FRENKEN, 2008; QUATRARO, 2010).”
Related Variety, Trade Linkages, and Regional Growth in Italy (2009, background): “Our indicator can account for changes in related variety at the regional level over time, but only in terms of a higher or lower degree of related variety (see, e.g., Saviotti and Frenken 2008).”
Country Diversification, Product Ubiquity, and Economic Divergence (2010, methodology): “…of information on product ubiquity is where our measures depart from other measures of diversification, such as the Herfindahl-Hirschman (Hirschman 1964) index or Entropy (Jost 2006, Saviotti and Frenken 2008), as these other measures do not incorporate any information that differentiates products.”
Climbing the Ladder of Technological Development (2017, unknown): “…among products and technologies and its effect on the diversiﬁcation process of regions and ﬁrms has gained considerable attention, as reﬂected by the number and diversity of studies incorporating this concept (Hidalgo and Hausmann, 2009; Frenken et al., 2007; Frenken and Saviotti, 2008).”
Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “…a crucial question is whether regions can keep relying on more related diversi ﬁ cation to sustain long-term development, or whether they need to diversify in unrelated activities to avoid lock-in in the long run, as these may open up completely new market opportunities (Saviotti & Frenken, 2008).”
