The emergence of new technology-based sectors in European regions: A proximity-based analysis of nanotechnology (2014, methodology): “…we adopt a different methodology which was proposed to analyse the role of the existing production structure on the process of economic diversification at both country and regional levels (Hidalgo et al., 2007; Hausmann and Klinger, 2007; Hausmann and Hidalgo, 2010; Boschma et al., 2012, 2013).”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “Second, studies have reported that regions with related variety have higher economic growth rates (FRENKEN et al., 2007; BOSCHMA et al., 2012), but no study, to the author’s knowledge, has yet tested whether diversified regions, as compared to specialized regions, diversify more successfully into…”
The emerging empirics of evolutionary economic geography (2011, result): “Such an effect has also been found in studies on regional growth in Italy (Boschma and Iammarino, 2009) and Spain (Boschma et al., 2010) using export data.”
Space and Knowledge Spillovers in European Regions (2013, neutral): “…too close, nor too distant, in order to trigger mutual learning processes: “Some degree of cognitive proximity between two sectors ensures effective communication and common understanding, and some degree of cognitive distance is needed to avoid cognitive lock-in” (Boschma et al., 2012: p. 243).”
Mapping Knowledge Space and Technological Relatedness in US Cities (2013, background): “Boschma et al. (2012) extend the work of Hausmann and Klinger (2007) at the subnational level exploring how different regions in Spain diversify into industrial sectors that are related to their existing product-based capabilities.”
The Risks of Innovation: Are Innovating Firms Less Likely to Die? (2012, neutral): “(2007) and its application by Boschma et al. (2012). The proximity indices are based on how often countries have comparative advantage in two products simultaneously.”
The Emergence of New Industries at the Regional Level in Spain: A Proximity Approach Based on Product Relatedness (2013, background): “The comparative advantage of the rest of Spain was computed by adding the exports of all the other provinces that form this group, obtained from the Dirección General de Aduanas—Agencia Tributaria database, and applying Balassa’s formula.”
The Impact of Related Variety on Regional Employment Growth in Finland 1993–2006: High-Tech versus Medium/Low-Tech (2012, background): “Recent studies in The Netherlands (Frenken et al., 2007), Italy (Boschma and Iammarino, 2009; Quatraro, 2010) and Spain (Boschma et al., 2012) have indeed confirmed that related variety tends to contribute positively to regional employment growth.”
Related variety and economic development: a literature review (2016, background): “They did so using two additional measures of related variety in order to overcome some limitation of the entropy measure that is based on the SIC, which defined relatedness ‘ex ante’, as Boschma et al. (2012) put it.”
Related Variety, Unrelated Variety and Technological Breakthroughs: An analysis of US State-Level Patenting (2015, background): “Any other combination of above-average and below-average levels of UV, SRV and RV is possible as well, at least theoretically, even if empirically related and unrelated variety tend to correlate positively (FRENKEN et al., 2007; QUATRARO, 2010; QUATRARO, 2011; BOSCHMA et al., 2012; HARTOG et al., 20”
