Boosting, sorting and complexity - urban scaling of innovation around the world
Broekel, Tom; Knuepling, Louis; Mewes, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)It is widely understood that innovations tend to be concentrated in cities, which is evidenced by innovative output increasing disproportionately with city size.

Explaining the dynamics of relatedness: the role of co-location and complexity
Sandor, Juhasz; Broekel, Tom; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-08)Relatedness has become a key concept for studying the diversification of firms, regions and countries.

Rethinking the role of local knowledge networks in territorial innovation models
Broekel, Tom; Lazzeretti, Luciana; Capone, Francesco; Hassink, Robert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Traditionally, territorial innovation models (Moulaert and Sekia Citation2003), such as clusters, industrial districts, and regional innovation systems, are characterised by a geographic concentration of competences and ... -
Saved by the news? COVID-19 in German news and its relationship with regional mobility behaviour
Ozgun, Burcu; Broekel, Tom (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There are substantial differences across regions regarding COVID-19 infections and deaths, which are partly explained by differences in practicing social distancing. In this paper we argue that the portrayal of COVID-19 ... -

Subsidized to change ? The impact of R & D policy on regional technological diversification
Mewes, Lars; Broekel, Tom (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03)Previous research shows ample evidence that regional diversification is strongly path dependent, as regions are more likely to diversify into related than unrelated activities. In this paper, we ask whether contemporary ... -
Technological Complexity and Economic Growth of Regions. Regional Studies
Broekel, Tom; Mewes, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)One the one hand, complex technologies offer substantial economic benefits, and on the other, they are difficult to invent and to imitate, and they refuse a fast dissemination. This two-sidedness motivates the idea that ...
