There is yet little focus in S3 policy on the role of interregional linkages. This study on 292 NUTS-2 regions in Europe finds that ... -
The dark side of the geography of innovation: relatedness, complexity and regional inequality in Europe
Pinheiro, Flavio L.; Balland, Pierre-Alexandre; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert; Hartmann, Dominik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)As regions evolve, their economies become more complex, and they tend to diversify into related activities. Although there is a bright side to this diversification process in terms of economic development, there may also ... -
Diversifying in green technologies in European regions: does political support matter?
Santoalha, Artur; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-04)New green activities in regions tend to build on regional capabilities. This paper makes a first attempt to test the impact of political support for environmental policy at the national and regional scales, besides regional ... -
Do EU regions benefit from Smart Specialisation principles?
Rigby, David L.; Roesler, Christoph; Kogler, Dieter; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert; Balland, Pierre-Alexandre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Smart Specialisation was conceived as a ‘bottom-up’ framework to identify new growth paths connected to knowledge cores within regions. Although operationalization of Smart Specialisation has proven difficult, recent ... -
Do scientific capabilities in specific domains matter for technological diversification in European regions?
Balland, Pierre-Alexandre; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Do scientific capabilities in regions translate into technological leadership? This is one of the most pressing questions in academic and policy circles. This paper analyzes the matching of scientific and technological ... -
The emergence of artificial intelligence in European regions: the role of a local ICT base
Xiao, Jing; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The purpose of this study is to investigate how a regional knowledge base of information and communication technologies (ICTs) influences the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in European regions. ... -
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.

Global value chains from an evolutionary economic geography perspective: a research agenda
Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The research agendas of evolutionary economic geography (EEG) and global value chains (GVCs) have developed more or less independently from each other, with little interaction so far. This is unfortunate because both streams ... -
Mapping the potentials of regions in Europe to contribute to new knowledge production in Industry 4.0 technologies
Balland, Pierre-Alexandre; Boschma, Ronald Adalbert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-04)This paper aims to identify the future Industry 4.0 technology (I4T) centres of knowledge production in Europe. We expect I4Ts to thrive in regions where they can draw on local capabilities in I4T-related technologies. We ... -
