Innovation in knowledge intensive industries: The nature and geography of knowledge links (2006, methodology): “…shape local learning and innovation processes in a significant way by providing physical capital (R&D infrastructure and educational infrastructure), supporting academic spin-offs, enhancing human capital and encouraging the formation of social capital (Nauwelaers, 2001; Tödtling & Trippl, 2005b).”
Innovation policies for regional structuralchange: Combining actor-based andsystem-based strategies (2016, background): “Attracting innovative firms and branches of national research institutions or research centres from outside is also put forward as policy option for thin RISs (Tödtling and Trippl 2005).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “…of discovery and learning on the part of both policy-makers and entrepreneurs, and was always framed within the recent trend towards reconsidering the role and logic of industrial (RODRIK, 2004), knowledge (TRAJTENBERG, 2009; SOETE, 2009a, 2009b), and regional (TÖDTLING and TRIPPL, 2005) policies.”
Efforts to Implement Smart Specialization in Practice—Leading Unlike Horses to the Water (2015, background): “…of the ensuing, well-argued dismissal of “one-size-fits-all” policies (Nauwelaers & Reid, 2002; Barca, 2009; Rodrı́guez-Pose, 2013), a need for place-based approaches was advocated not least on the grounds of differences in institutions (Tödtling & Trippl, 2005; Barca et al., 2012; Asheim, 2013).”
Path Renewal in Old Industrial Regions: Possibilities and Limitations for Regional Innovation Policy (2015, methodology): “Even though, as TÖDTLING and TRIPPL (2005) observe, the region may have a highly developed and specialized knowledge-generation and diffusion system, this is usually oriented towards traditional industries and technology fields.”
Smart specialization policy in the European Union: relatedness, knowledge complexity and regional diversification (2019, methodology): “The result was a clear denunciation of the top-down ‘one-size-fits-all’ policy that had led the EU to fund nation-states rather than individual regions, and fashionable sectoral targets rather than realistic industrial foundations (Asheim, Grillitsch, & Trippl, 2016; Tödtling & Trippl, 2005).”
Constructing Regional Advantage: Towards State-of-the-Art Regional Innovation System Policies in Europe? (2011, background): “But the extent to which firms interact or co-operate with other firms or knowledge-creating and -diffusing organizations (e.g. universities) differs extensively across various sectors and regions (Tödtling & Trippl, 2005).”
Evaluating the impact of public subsidies on a firm's performance: A quasi-experimental approach (2007, positive): “Besides, innovation systems differ among regions which suggests the use of policies designed exclusively to deal with specific regional characteristics (Tödtling and Trippl, 2005; Nauwelaers and Wintjes, 2008).”
A review of (almost) 20 years of regional innovation systems research (2017, background): “The literature on regional innovation systems (RISs) has grown impressively in the last two decades (Asheim & Gertler, 2005; Asheim, Grillitsch, & Trippl, 2017; Cooke, Heidenreich, & Braczyk, 2004; Doloreux, 2002; Isaksen & Trippl, 2016; Tödtling & Trippl, 2005).”
