Knowledge flows and the absorptive capacity of regions (2015, background): “Undeniably, the implications of this for the most peripheral regions in Europe are important – i.e., the stickier the knowledge, the lower the peripheral territories will have access to it (Rodriguez-Pose and Crescenzi, 2008).”
Handbook of Local and Regional Development (2010, background): “Here, adjectives and conceptions of a ‘spiky’ and ‘sticky’ rather than ‘ﬂ at’ and ‘slippery’ world contest for our understanding and explanations (see, for example, Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi 2008, Markusen 1996).”
Special Economic Zones (2007, unknown): “The agglomeration of firms in specialized SEZs promotes Marshall-Arrow-Romer (MAR) externalities (Hu 2007; Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi 2008).”
The determinants of regional specialisation in business services: agglomeration economies, vertical linkages and innovation (2015, background): “Our conceptual contribution is not only in the joint account of all the theoretical blocks above, but also in the explicit consideration of the role of Hirschman linkages, which further supports the theoretical stand of the importance of both spatial and sectoral proximity and challenges the view th”
Shifting horizons in local and regional development (2017, background): “They seek to explain trends in social and spatial disparities towards convergence or divergence or – in more recent language – towards a ‘flat’ or a ‘spiky’ world (McCann, 2008; Rodríguez-Pose & Crescenzi, 2008).”
Local economic development in Africa: Global context and research directions (2010, background): “In addition, globalisation ‘implies changes, opportunities and threats and not all territories across the world have the same capacity and tools to make the world an even playing field’ (Rodriguez-Pose & Crescenzi, 2008:372).”
The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “…role in automotive R&D (e.g., Boschma 2004, 2005; Carrincazeaux et al. 2001; Gertler 2003; Howells 2002; Lung 2004; Leamer and Storper 2001; Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi 2008a, 2008b; Storper and Venables 2004; Weterings and Boschma 2009), Škoda’s R&D has attracted significant automotive…”
The geography of the economic crisis in Europe: National macroeconomic conditions, regional structural factors and short-term economic performance (2016, background): “The existing evidence on long term growth and innovation dynamics of the EU regions (Crescenzi and Rodríguez-Pose, 2011; Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi, 2008) has shown that local R&D investments have a weak association with regional innovation and growth, while human capital is a stronger predictor…”
Structure and evolution of global cluster networks: evidence from the aerospace industry (2016, background): “As a result, one should not expect that it leads to a significant rise in translocal horizontal linkages, or at least not to the same extent as for vertical linkages (Morgan, 2004; Rodriguez-Pose and Crescenzi, 2008).”
Marketing innovation: A consequence of competitiveness (2016, background): “According to Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi (2008), improvisation, modification, augmentation or transformation of existing channels of trade through the use of technology can reduce transaction costs.”
