Labour Market Externalities and Regional Growth in Sweden: The Importance of Labour Mobility between Skill-Related Industries (2014, background): “The studies that have addressed this issue empirically found no evidence of a positive effect of intra-regional labour mobility per se on firm performance and regional growth (MCCANN and SIMONEN, 2005; BOSCHMA et al., 2009; ERIKSSON, 2011).”
Innovation, quality management and learning: Short-term and longer-term effects (2017, background): “Numerous scholars have attempted to explain why some firms are more likely to innovate, with firm characteristics, such as size, sector, ownership, and location being identified as influential drivers of innovation output (Audretsch and Feldman, 1996; Boschma, 2005; Gordon and McCann, 2005; Jordan a”
The interregional migration of human capital and its regional consequences: a review (2017, background): “…Boschma (2014) extend Boschma et al.’s (2014) analysis by comparing the effects of intra- and interregional labour inflows of highly skilled workers on plant performance, and ultimately determine that only interregional labour inflows positively impact labour productivity (McCann & Simonen, 2005).”
Agents of Structural Change: The Role of Firms and Entrepreneurs in Regional Diversification (2018, background): “…local labor markets, specialized suppliers and local knowledge (Glaeser et al. 1992; Henderson, Kuncoro, and Turner 1995; Almeida and Kogut 1999; McCann and Simonen 2005; Faggian and McCann 2006), elements of Porter’s (1990) diamond, untraded interdependencies (Storper 1995), localized…”
Regulation and firm perception, eco-innovation and firm performance (2012, background): “Freel (2003), McCann and Simonen (2005) and Roper et al. (2008) highlight the importance of external knowledge sources for innovation.”
Measuring the impact of innovative human capital on small firms' propensity to innovate (2015, background): “Conversely, McCann and Simonen (2005) found very little support for the argument that cooperationwith universities, amongother sourcesofknowledge,playsany role inpromoting innovation, in the case of Finland as least.”
How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, background): “In a study on Finnish high-technology industries, McCann and Simonen (2005) even found that local labour mobility had a negative effect on innovative performance.”
The effect of intra- and inter-regional labour mobility on plant performance in Denmark: the significance of related labour inflows (2014, result): “Our result is also supported by an empirical study on labour mobility in the Finnish high-tech industry where local labour flows had a negative impact on the innovative performance of firms (McCann and Simonen, 2005).”
Sketching Out a Model of Innovation, Face-to-face Interaction and Economic Geography (2007, methodology): “Other approaches have used somewhat broader measures of innovation (Acs, 2002; McCann & Simonen, 2005) to identify the relationship between knowledge and geography.”
Firm innovation: The influence of R&D cooperation and the geography of human capital inputs (2008, background): “3 The raw non-adjusted data (McCann and Simonen 2005) shows that between the different size bands, the proportion of establishment innovating is relatively high among both the groups of very small local establishments employing less than 10 people, and also the larger establishments employing more t”
