Six critical questions about smart specialization (2019, background): “Foray (2015), for instance, presents several cases with the typical phenomena of smart specialization, namely entrepreneurial discovery and spillovers, agglomeration effects, leading to structural changes, in economically strong regions in Switzerland or France.”
Smart specialisation, entrepreneurship and SMEs: issues and challenges for a results-oriented EU regional policy (2016, background): “Finally, while on some levels the popularity of the smart specialisation way of thinking in EU policy debates may be considered to be somewhat surprising (Foray 2015; Foray et al. 2011) to some observers, in terms of political economy there is also a logic to this”
Advancing regional innovation systems: What does evolutionary economic geography bring to the policy table? (2017, background): “Therefore, future research on regional innovation policy, at the intersection of RIS and EEG, needs to better engage with the experimental, and some may say entrepreneurial (Morgan 2015), nature of such policies and, as a consequence, its deviations from orthodoxy in regional policy making.”
The early experience of smart specialization implementation in EU cohesion policy (2016, background): “articulated elsewhere (Foray, 2015; Foray et al., 2012, 2015; McCann, 2015; McCann & Ortega-Argilés, 2015) so we will not dwell on these issues any further in this paper.”
