Rethinking Human Capital, Creativity and Urban Growth (2008, background): “…people learn from one another within structured production communities, as represented for example by distinct spatial clusters of employment or patenting activity (e.g. in information technology; pharmaceuticals/life sciences; financial services) (Feldman, 1994; Acs, 2002; Sonn and Storper, 2008).”
A model of the entrepreneurial economy (2004, background): “11 See also Acs (2002) who hints at the dual causality between the growth of cities and that of the number of firms.”
Regional inequality in Europe: evidence, theory and policy implications (2019, neutral): “…of cities that are increasingly selectively distributed – such as knowledge accumulation (Storper, 2013), creativity (Florida, 2005), innovation (Acs, 2002), cultural diversity (Lee and Nathan, 2010) and institutions (Storper et al., 2015) – which are equally important for competitive…”
Are cities the font of innovation? A critical review of the literature on cities and innovation (2012, background): “…(2008)), others present case studies of innovation that occurs in cities (such as Currid (2007) and Potter and Miranda (2009)), and yet others still attempt to explain how and why innovative activity occurs in cities (such as Acs (2002), Duranton and Puga (2001) and Feldman and Audretsch (1999)).”
Sketching Out a Model of Innovation, Face-to-face Interaction and Economic Geography (2007, methodology): “Yet, following Porter (1990) and Scott (1988), these various agglomeration and clustering literatures are now also used to underpin research into the economic geography of innovation (Simmie, 1997 2001; Caniels, 2000; Acs, 2002; Becattini, 2004; Van Oort, 2004).”
Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries (2010, neutral): “174) because it is a “non-rival, partially excludable good” ([78], p.”
Agglomeration and the spatial distribution of creativity (2005, background): “Griliches (1979, 1998), Anselin et al. (1997), and Acs (2002) have modelled this effect in a simple production function at the regional level using local industrial and university research as inputs.”
Innovation and Spatial Inequality in Europe and USA (2013, positive): “As cities are seen as key sites for the generation of innovation, much of this policy takes place at the urban and regional level (Acs 2003; Audretsch and Feldman 2003).”
Firm innovation: The influence of R&D cooperation and the geography of human capital inputs (2008, background): “Work on these issues also tends to emphasize the role played by clusters of small firms, because small firms are seen to produce a disproportionately large share of innovations (Acs, 2002).”
Creative industries, new business formation, and regional economic growth (2009, background): “Third is the modeling issue, i.e. the construction of an analytical framework explaining the role of technological change in regional economic growth (cf. also Acs, 2002).”
When Do Global Pipelines Enhance the Diffusion of Knowledge in Clusters? (2013, background): “Agglomeration effects and innovation appear to be higher in regions and cities that are more densely populated than in regions with a lower population density (Acs 2002; Ciccone and Hall 1996).”
Not Invented Here? Innovation in Company Towns (2009, background): “for entrepreneurial ventures ( Acs (2002) ), a primary source of so-called creative destruction.”
Penetrating the ``knowledge filter'' in regional economies (2005, background): “By implication, our results support the conjecture in Acs, et al. (2003) that knowledge spillovers, new venture creation, and the interaction of the two are localized, regional phenomena.”
Human Capital, Graduate Migration and Innovation in British Regions (2008, background): “…(Cantwell and Iammarino 2003), the management literature (Porter 1990), and the economic geography literature (Scott 1988; Saxenian 19 94; Acs 2002; Simmie 2001), there has been a widespread effort to understand the differences in the spatial distribution of innovative activity and…”
