Agglomeration, clusters, and industrial policy (2013, background): “As McCann and Ortega-Argilés (2011) explain in an earlier paper, this version of the policy is built on Schumpeterian frameworks, regional innovation systems, and evolutionary economic geography.”
Relatedness, complexity and local growth (2020, unknown): “…specialisation policies (Foray et al., 2009, 2011), which encourage regions to upgrade their economic structure “by building on their existing capabilities” (Balland et al., 2018a) and which are a core component of the reformed EU Cohesion policy (Barca, 2009; McCann and Ortega-Argilés, 2015).”
The territorial dynamics of innovation in China and India (2012, unknown): “…are taken into account, the R&D spillovers become negative and significant, generating what is known as the ‘Krugman shadow effect’ (McCann and Ortega-Argilés, 2011), that is the agglomeration of innovation in core areas leads to ever greater concentration of innovation by promoting further…”
Constructing Regional Advantage and Smart Specialisation: Comparison of Two European Policy Concepts (2014, methodology): “To assess whether related industries are actually connected in a region would also enrich the concept of connectivity proposed by McCann and Ortega-Argiles (2011).”
Spatial Heterogeneity in Knowledge, Innovation, and Economic Growth Nexus: Conceptual Reflections and Empirical Evidence (2014, background): “In normative terms, these results are closely in line with the current debate on smart specialization (Foray, 2009; McCann and Ortega-Argilés, 2011; Barca, McCann, and Rodrı́guez-Pose, 2012; Camagni and Capello, 2013) calling for ad hoc, thematically/regionally focused innovation policies.”
Regional Innovation Patterns and the EU Regional Policy Reform: Toward Smart Innovation Policies (2013, background): “The two key concepts of ‘embeddedness’ and ‘connectedness’ – put forward in the recent debate on SmSp – are starting concepts around which smart innovation policies could be designed: policies have to be embedded in the local reality, in local assets and strategic design capabilities, and have to gu”
