Agency and actors in regional industrial path development. A framework and longitudinal analysis (2020, background): “…the role of public and private actors in constraining and facilitating greening of industries in a regional context, as, arguably, limited attention has hitherto been given to micro-level processes in studies of regional industry development (Asheim et al. 2016; Boschma, 2017; Uyarra et al., 2017).”
Industrial Diversification in Europe: The Differentiated Role of Relatedness (2018, background): “Boschma (2017) pleads for an approach that determines what types of new combinations made between related and unrelated industries lead to new industrial specializations.”
Relatedness, external linkages and regional innovation in Europe (2018, neutral): “, innovation with a high technological and economic impact (Boschma, 2016).”
Complementary interregional linkages and Smart Specialisation: an empirical study on European regions (2020, background): “This claim has found confirmation in empirical research in the last decade (Boschma, 2017).”
Regional knowledge, entrepreneurial culture, and innovative start-ups over time and space―an empirical investigation (2018, background): “Recent quantitative approaches based on larger sets of regions analyze the evolution of industries and industrial path-dependencies in regions in the medium run (e.g., Klepper 2009; Boschma 2017).”
Towards a comprehensive understanding of new regional industrial path development (2019, background): “However, it is fair to note that representatives of this school have begun to add exogenous sources to their research agenda (Boschma, 2017; Neffke, Hartog, Boschma, & Henning, 2018).”
Public procurement, innovation and industrial policy: Rationales, roles, capabilities and implementation (2020, background): “…industrial policy (Rodrik, 2004) such as ‘smart specialisation’ (Foray, 2014), and recent work by evolutionary economic geographers (for a review see Boschma, 2017) stress the importance of structural factors in shaping the extent to which national or regional economies can grow and diversify 1 .”
Regional worlds: from related variety in regional diversification to strategic coupling in global production networks (2020, background): “As reflected critically in Kogler’s (2017, p. 366) commentary on Boschma (2017), this gap is most noticeable in EEG because of ‘the failure to explain how relatedness and resulting diversification processes are connected to economic progress and productivity gains, and how this potentially…”
Regional innovation policies for new path development – beyond neo-liberal and traditional systemic views (2018, background): “The creation of radically new industrial paths (or what can also be called unrelated diversification, see Boschma, 2017) represents a more radical form of change since it implies the emergence of entirely new industries or business models based on scientific discoveries, radical new technologies or…”
Trinity of change agency, regional development paths and opportunity spaces (2020, background): “Notwithstanding some exceptions (Dawley, 2014; Bristow and Healy, 2014), the evolutionary tradition in economic geography is largely ignorant about microlevel explanations for why new growth paths emergence in some regions but not in others despite similar preconditions (Boschma, 2017).”
A critical review of entrepreneurial ecosystems research: towards a future research agenda (2017, background): “…whether there are conditions at the local or national scale that facilitate such strategic collective action, and make institutional entrepreneurs more successful in building legitimacy and shaping institutions to enable radical entrepreneurship (Battilana, Leca, & Boxenbaum, 2009; Boschma, 2017).”
Smart specialization policy in the European Union: relatedness, knowledge complexity and regional diversification (2019, background): “This is not to deny the fact that public policy can play a key role in initiating transformative change when fundamental uncertainty is the rule, but only when embedded in an appropriate territorial context (Boschma, 2017; Montresor & Quatraro, 2017; Uhlbach, Balland, & Scherngell, 2017; Unterlass e”
