Evolution in Economic Geography: Institutions, Political Economy, and Adaptation (2009, background): “…have addressed the question of “what kind of evolutionary theory for economic geography?” to paraphrase Amin and Thrift (2000), while others have developed more specific propositions for empirical analysis and testing (Frenken and Boschma 2007; Bottazzi, Dosi, Fagiolo, and Secchi 2007).”
Place-based innovation policy for industrial diversification in regions (2018, background): “Diversification based on related variety is seen as fundamental mechanism in evolutionary economic geography (Frenken & Boschma, 2007).”
Industrial Diversification in Europe: The Differentiated Role of Relatedness (2018, background): “As such, diversification processes in local economies are depicted as an emergent branching process (Frenken and Boschma 2007) in which new activities build on and combine related local activities (Martin and Sunley 2006; Fornahl and Guenther 2010).”
Path Creation as a Process of Resource Alignment and Anchoring: Industry Formation for On-Site Water Recycling in Beijing (2016, background): “Empirical research shows that routine replication and recombination have a strong regional bias: Spin-offs often locate close to their parent organization (Klepper 1996), tacit knowledge spillovers occur more often among geographically proximate actors (Breschi and Lissoni 2001) and labor mobility i”
Green industry development in different types of regions (2019, background): “Third, path diversification implies a development from existing into new industries by applying existing knowledge in new industries (Frenken & Boschma, 2007) or combining existing with unrelated knowledge (Grillitsch et al., 2018).”
Technological Relatedness and Knowledge Space: Entry and Exit of US Cities from Patent Classes (2015, background): “…from limited parts of knowledge space are associated with distinct geographical areas, localized communities of practice emerge (LAWSON and LORENZ, 1999; MASKELL and MALMBERG, 1999; GERTLER, 2003), reflecting place-specific sets of competences and capabilities (BOSCHMA and FRENKEN, 2007).”
The emerging empirics of evolutionary economic geography (2011, background): “This process results in regional branching in which new routines develop out of technologically related routines (Frenken and Boschma, 2007; Boschma and Frenken, 2011), underlining the importance of ‘related variety’ for regional development (Frenken et al.”
Myopia, knowledge development and cluster evolution (2007, background): “1 The rapidly growing literature within evolutionary economic geography (see Boschma and Frenken, 2006 or Martin and Sunley, 2006 for overviews) has added significantly to our understanding of regional economic development but it only seldom specifies underlying micro-level processes that include in”
