Localized learning revisited (2006, background): “…are also often thought to contribute to knowledge creation in firms (Jaffe 1989, Jaffe et al. 1993, Anselin et al. 1997, Narin et al. 1997, Zucker et al. 1998, Rodríguez-Pose and Refolo 2003) and such links seem relatively often to be localized (see Malmberg and Power 2005 for a review).”
Clusters for life or life cycles of clusters: in search of the critical factors of clusters' resilience (2014, background): “Then, clusters that mix a core/periphery structure and disassortative property can reconcile the tensions between increasing order and resilience, identified by Martin and Sunley (2011). While a core/periphery structure favours clusters to host hub organizations able to control the technological int”
The effect of intra- and inter-regional labour mobility on plant performance in Denmark: the significance of related labour inflows (2014, background): “From this line of thought, it can be concluded that mobility of skilled labour plays an important role in understanding the economic benefits of agglomerations (Malmberg and Power, 2005).”
Temporary Clusters and Knowledge Creation: The Effects of International Trade Fairs, Conventions and Other Professional Gatherings (2004, background): “The assertion that the majority of corporate transactions take place within clusters has little supporting empirical evidence (Prosch 1998, Malecki and Oinas 1999, Amin and Cohendet 1999, 2004, Malmberg and Power 2003, Gertler 2003, Bathelt 2004, Clark and Tracey 2004).”
Geographies of production: growth regimes in spatial perspective (II) - knowledge creation and growth in clusters (2005, background): “The cluster approach has, however, been overly criticised for the inclusion of elements which are not specific to this concept (e.g. Benneworth and Henry, 2004; Malmberg and Power, 2003).”
When Local Interaction Does Not Suffice: Sources of Firm Innovation in Urban Norway (2011, neutral): “(6) Only a limited number of theoretical contributions (eg Bathelt et al, 2004) and empirical studies (eg Malmberg and Power, 2005) have upheld relatively similar views.”
Technological complexity and economic growth of regions (2020, background): “In addition, it eases its exchange by allowing for easier and quicker feedback, spontaneous interactions of heterogeneous actors, and more e cient communication (Malmberg and Power, 2005).”
How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, background): “From this line of thought, it can be concluded that mobility of skilled labour plays an important role in understanding the benefits of agglomerations (Malmberg and Power, 2005).”
Labour Market Externalities and Regional Growth in Sweden: The Importance of Labour Mobility between Skill-Related Industries (2014, background): “…is nevertheless regarded as an important mechanism through which knowledge and skills between firms and regions are transferred both within countries (MALMBERG and POWER, 2005; IAMMARINO and MCCANN, 2006) and between countries (RODRÍGUEZ-POSE and VILALTA-BUFI, 2005; SAXENIAN and SABEL, 2008).”
Advancing regional innovation systems: What does evolutionary economic geography bring to the policy table? (2017, background): “Essentially, knowledge diffusion is determined by localized labour market mobility (Cotic-Svetina, Jaklic, and Prodan 2008; Boschma, Eriksson, and Lindgren 2009; Malmberg and Power 2005) and informal networks between firms (Sturgeon 2003; Agrawal, Cockburn, and McHale 2006; Dahl and Pedersen 2004).”
Geographical proximity and innovation: Evidences from the Campos Basin oil & gas industrial agglomeration—Brazil (2009, background): “For those authors, extra-cluster linkages must also be focused if a sustainable, long-term analysis is to be made (for benefits of external linkages see also Du et al., 2007; Mansury and Love, 2008).”
Structure and evolution of global cluster networks: evidence from the aerospace industry (2016, background): “Along these lines, Malmberg and Power (2005) report that vertical linkages are generally more spread out trans-locally than horizontal linkages.”
