How does labour mobility affect the performance of plants? The importance of relatedness and geographical proximity (2008, background): “In the literature, increasing attention is paid to the role of extra-local linkages, since too much reliance on merely local knowledge may result in lock-in that may be harmful to performance of firms and regions (Scott, 1998; Bresnahan et al., 2001; Asheim and Isaksen, 2002; Bathelt et al., 2004; F”
The Economic Performance of European Cities and City Regions: Myths and Realities (2013, background): “On the third point, highly skilled graduates (Berry & Glaeser, 2005; Faggian & McCann, 2006, 2009) and talented and creative workers (Florida, 2002) continue to move to and between our large cities.”
Human Capital, Graduate Migration and Innovation in British Regions (2008, methodology): “As such, where universities do play a role in regional innovation, it appear s to be at least as much, if not more, related to their role as nodes within a national system of student -graduate mobility (Faggian and McCann 2006).”
An evolutionary integrated view of Regional Systems of Innovation: Concepts, measures and historical perspectives (2005, background): “It has been recently argued that geographical proximity would not produce knowledge spillovers per se , but social proximity in the region would (Breschi & Lissoni, 2001 ; Faggian & McCann, 2004 ).”
Smart Specialization, Regional Growth and Applications to European Union Cohesion Policy (2015, background): “…to the induced effect of such a programme, because it is also known that as people acquire more human capital, they become more geographically mobile, and the likelihood of such people leaving less prosperous regions and moving to buoyant regions increases (FAGGIAN and MCCANN, 2006, 2009a, 2009b).”
The effect of intra- and inter-regional labour mobility on plant performance in Denmark: the significance of related labour inflows (2014, background): “Studies have observed empirically that a high rate of labour mobility may have negative effects on firm’s performance (e.g. McCann and Simonen, 2005; Faggian and McCann, 2006; Boschma et al., 2009; Eriksson, 2011).”
Agents of Structural Change: The Role of Firms and Entrepreneurs in Regional Diversification (2018, background): “…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 capabilities (Maskell and…”
INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN LAGGING REGIONS (2013, unknown): “Indeed, given the small size of these spillovers, it is not surprising that Faggian and McCann (2006, 2009) conclude that universities’ most favorable influence on local growth is as a supplier of human capital and creative workers and less as a source of knowledge spillovers.”
Productivity growth in the Old and New Europe: the role of agglomeration externalities (2013, unknown): “From our point of view, the recent contributions of Brülhart and Mathys (2008) and Foster and Steher (2009), who extend the agglomeration model of Ciccone (2002) to the industry level, deserve special attention.”
Does University Quality Influence the Interregional Mobility of Students and Graduates? The Case of Italy (2014, background): “In line with the findings of previous empirical works, the importance of a student’s human capital characteristics (FAGGIAN et al., 2007a; FAGGIAN and MCCANN, 2006; SJASTAD, 1962) and of his/her family background emerged (Table 4).”
Collaboration Intensity and Regional Innovation Efficiency in Germany—A Conditional Efficiency Approach (2012, background): “I also control for non-collaboration-related inter-regional spillovers by accounting for the geographic mobility of university graduates of engineering (GRAD_ENG) and natural sciences & math (GRAD_NAT) (see Faggian and McCann, 2006).”
The innovative performance of firms in heterogeneous environments: the interplay between external knowledge and internal absorptive capacities (2018, background): “This preliminary unconditional correlation resonates with earlier studies that attributed a positive innovation impact to the mobility of knowledgeable individuals (e.g. Faggian and McCann, 2006; Chellaraj et al., 2008; Hunt and Gauthier-Loiselle, 2009).”
The impact of cultural diversity on firm innovation: evidence from Dutch micro-data (2013, background): “Thus, one branch of this literature analyses the impact of foreign entrepreneurs, students and inventors on innovation (Stuen et al. 2012; Kerr, 2010; Kerr and Lincoln, 2010; Hunt and Gauthier-Loiselle, 2008; Lobo and Strumsky, 2008; Zucker and Darby, 2007; and Faggian and McCann, 2006).”
