ABSTRACT Path creation is a key concept in economic geography. So far, particularly scholars within evolutionary economic geography have pioneered research on this topic. This paper critically discusses their work and proposes a broader understanding of how new economic activities emerge in regions, which is referred to here as ‘new regional industrial path development’. The paper develops a future research agenda, which stresses the need to develop a multi-actor and multi-scalar approach, to integrate the future into analyses of path development, and to offer a broader view on inter-path relations.

Citations in the corpus
- Regional worlds: from related variety in regional diversification to strategic coupling in global production networks (2020, background): “As critiqued recently by Hassink et al. (2019), MacKinnon et al. (2019) and Frangenheim et al. (2020), the specification of regional path development is far too narrow in the EEG work on related variety.”
- The dark side of regional industrial path development: towards a typology of trajectories of decline (2019, background): “Recent debates on ‘new regional industrial path development’ (see Hassink et al., 2019 for a critical review) have enhanced understanding of the conditions and mechanisms of longer-term regional structural change.”
