Relatedness as driver of regional diversification: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “Recent papers have focused on the role of neighbour countries (Bahar, Hausmann, & Hidalgo, 2014) and regions (Boschma, Martin, & Minondo, 2016) to develop comparative advantage in new industries.”
Complementary interregional linkages and Smart Specialisation: an empirical study on European regions (2020, background): “Bahar et al. (2014) and Boschma et al. (2017) found that regions are more likely to develop new export industries in which their neighbour regions are already specialized.”
Technological complexity and economic growth of regions (2020, background): “Until now, empirical evidence of the economic benefit of knowledge complexity is scarce and restricted to economic complexity as measured by the product portfolio of an economy (Hidalgo and Hausmann, 2009; Hausmann et al., 2013; Bahar et al., 2014).”
Revealed comparative advantage: What is it good for? (2017, methodology): “RCA indexes have also been employed in analyses of technological change over time, for example in Proudman and Redding (2000) and Bahar et al. (2014). In such applications, changes in the MBI – or coefficients obtained from a dynamic version of the regression specified in (10) – are valid indicators”
A spatial autoregressive stochastic frontier model for panel data with asymmetric efficiency spillovers (2015, background): “For other studies on knowledge spillovers see Branstetter (2001), Bottazzi and Peri (2003), Blazek and Sickles (2010) and Bahar et al. (2014). independent variables and is a vector of parameters.”
Migration, Knowledge Diffusion and the Comparative Advantage of Nations (2018, unknown): “In particular, it builds on Bahar et al. (2014) who suggest that the appearance of new industries in the export basket of countries can be partly explained by the local character of knowledge diffusion.”
Quantifying China's Regional Economic Complexity (2017, methodology): “Then, we transform this bipartite network into an adjacency matrix Mp,i, where Mp,i = 1 if province p has the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) [51] in industry i (RCAp,i ≥ 1) and 0 otherwise [18,52].”
Related variety and economic development: a literature review (2016, background): “Bahar, Hausmann, and Hidalgo (2014) address this question and show that a country is more likely to start exporting a product when a neighbouring country is already exporting the product.”
Economic complexity and the green economy (2020, background): “Fourth, we have not considered channels for green technology diffusion across neighbouring countries (Bahar et al., 2014).”
