• The impact of local and external university knowledge on the creation of knowledge-intensive firms: evidence from the Italian case (2014, neutral): “In a recent contribution, Laursen et al. (2011) showed that incumbent firms’ decisions to collaborate with universities are influenced by both geographic proximity and university quality.”
• Domestic alliance network to attract foreign partners: Evidence from international joint ventures in China (2014, background): “This helps local brokers to gain a rich understanding of the highly embedded and sensitive local information (Laursen et al., 2012).”
• Sub‐National Institutional Contingencies, Network Positions, and IJV Partner Selection (2012, neutral): “A broker can spend more time to interact and socialize with each alter in the local context, which helps the broker to gain a deep understanding of the highly sensitive and localized cultural/political knowledge (Laursen et al., 2012).”
• Reward-based crowdfunding of entrepreneurial projects: the effect of local altruism and localized social capital on proponents’ success (2017, positive): “…the importance of social capital in crowdfunding (Mollick 2014; Colombo et al. 2015a; Vismara 2016a; Vismara 2016b) to argue that the structure and nature of social relations in an area, i.e., localized social capital (Laursen et al. 2012a), moderate the allegedly positive effect of local altruism.”
