Complementary interregional linkages and Smart Specialisation: an empirical study on European regions (2020, background): “Scholars have also stressed the crucial role of gatekeepers that link local actors to knowledge outside their regions (Breschi & Lenzi, REGIONAL STUDIES 2015; Broekel & Mueller, 2018; Graf, 2011; Morrison, 2008; Morrison et al., 2013).”
Lock-in or lock-out ? How structural properties of knowledge networks affect regional resilience (2014, background): “Researches converge on the idea that some regions draw their performance better than others from their ability to home networks of complementary and interacting organizations (Lechner & Dowling, 2003; Owen-Smith & Powell, 2004; Graf, 2011).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “These studies focus on gatekeepers in regions, and on the extent to which local agents benefit or not from the presence of gatekeepers and their global linkages (GIULIANI and BELL, 2005; CANTNER and GRAF, 2006; MORRISON, 2008; MORRISON and RABELLOTTI, 2009; GRAF, 2011; MUNARI et al., 2012).”
When Do Global Pipelines Enhance the Diffusion of Knowledge in Clusters? (2013, background): “Some recent empirical studies have stressed the important role played by knowledge gatekeepers, defined as those actors who have strong knowledge bases and maintain tight external links and are willing to diffuse their knowledge within the cluster (Giuliani and Bell 2005; Morrison 2008; Graf 2011).”
The Role of External Linkages and Gatekeepers for the Renewal and Expansion of US Cities' Knowledge Base, 1990–2004 (2015, background): “First, it refines and improves on centrality-based indexes or ratios between internal and external linkages used in previous spatial analyses (GIULIANI and BELL, 2005; GRAF, 2011; MORRISON, 2008).”
Advancing regional innovation systems: What does evolutionary economic geography bring to the policy table? (2017, background): “Against this background, it is evident that RIS should provide contact points to extra-regional networks that are complementary to those maintained by regional firms (Graf 2010), or compensating for those which do not hold such contact points.”
Regional knowledge, entrepreneurial culture, and innovative start-ups over time and space―an empirical investigation (2018, background): “Third, universities are key actors―brokers and gatekeepers―in local innovation systems (e.g., Graf 2011; Kauffeld-Monz and Fritsch 2013).”
Knowledge and Information Networks in an Italian Wine Cluster (2009, background): “…performances, rather it depends on the context-specific characteristics of the cluster under analysis.16 From our results it further descends that larger and more knowledgeable firms (relative to other cluster’s members) do not necessarily act as knowledge gatekeepers (Graf, 2007; Morrison, 2008).”
