Cities and Regions Competing in the Global Economy: Knowledge and Local Development Policies (2007, background): “Even in the situation where boundaries have not changed, regions can more or less go out of business, becoming so depleted by out-migration that they are at a long-run competitive disadvantage (Camagni, 2002; Pole© se and Shearmur, 2002).”
Global investments and regional development trajectories: the missing links (2016, background): “…the New Economic Geography (Ottaviano, 2011), casting doubt on the overarching power of the ‘comparative advantage’ concept, strictly reliant on a broad and static sectoral view of gains and losses in the competitive contest (Bailey & Driffield, 2007; Camagni, 2002; Kitson, Martin, & Tyler, 2004).”
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): The Engine of Economic Growth through Investments and Innovation (2020, background): “Regions are in direct competition with each other for the conquest of markets and for attracting investments [26].”
Towards an Evolutionary Perspective on Regional Resilience (2015, background): “2 The question of how to relate a region to resilience is a crucial one, but not peculiar to the topic of regional resilience (for a similar discussion on the usefulness of the regional competitiveness concept, see e.g. Lawson 1999; Camagni, 2002).”
Creative Cities: Conceptual Issues and Policy Questions (2006, background): “Each, as a community, has a direct interest in securing new inward investments, in widening external markets for its products, and in attracting visitors from outside (Camagni 2002).”
Regional Competitiveness and Territorial Capital: A Conceptual Approach and Empirical Evidence from the European Union (2013, background): “…other on the basis of a ‘comparative advantage’ Ricardian principle – which guarantees each region a role in the international division of labour3 – but rather on an ‘absolute advantage’ Smithian principle, similar in nature to PORTER’s (1990) concept of ‘competitive advantage’ (CAMAGNI, 2002).”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, background): “With increasing globalisation, it can be argued that the regional level has become more important than nations in promoting and understanding innovation and economic growth (Storper 1997; Porter 2000; Camagni 2002; Scott and Storper 2003; Krugman 2005).”
Creative destruction and regional productivity growth: evidence from the Dutch manufacturing and services industries (2008, background): “growth (Castells and Hall 1994; Storper 1997; Porte r 2000; Camagni 2002 ), and”
