A relational approach to knowledge spillovers in biotech. Network structures as drivers of inter-organizational citation patterns

Boschma, Ron; Balland, Pierre-Alexandre; Kogler, Dieter - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2011

In this paper, we analyze the geography of knowledge spillovers in biotech by investigating the way in which knowledge ties are organized. Following a relational account on knowledge spillovers, we depict knowledge networks as complex evolving structures that build on pre-existing knowledge and...

Knowledge networks in the Dutch aviation industry: the proximity paradox

Broekel, Tom; Boschma, Ron - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2009

The importance of geographical proximity for interaction and knowledge sharing has been discussed extensively in … might be relevant. We argue that proximity may be a crucial driver for agents to connect and exchange knowledge, but too … much proximity between these agents on any of the dimensions might harm their innovative performance at the same time. In a …

No trade, one-way or two-way trade?

Okubo, Toshihiro; Picard, Pierre M.; Thisse, … - Research Institute for Economics and Business … - 2011

We study how the level of trade costs and the intensity of competition can explain the existence of two-way, one-way or no trade within the same industry. As trade costs decrease from very high to very low values, the economy moves from autarky to a regime of two-way trade, through a regime of...

Firms Location under Demand Heterogeneity

Picard, Pierre M.; Okubo, Toshihiro - Centre de Recherche en Économie Appliquée (CREA), … - 2011

In this paper we build an economic geography model where firms sell product varieties with heterogenous demands. We show that firms selling the products with higher demands select to set up their plants in larger countries. Larger countries do not only get better access to more varieties but...

The cognitive and geographical composition of ego-networks of firms – and how they impact on their innovation performance

Broekel, Tom; Boschma, Ron - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2011

Firms’ embeddedness into knowledge networks has received much attention in the literature. However, little is known about the composition of firms’ ego-networks with respect to different types of proximities. Based on survey data of 295 firms in eight European regions, we show that the...

Cluster Evolution and a Roadmap for Future Research

Boschma, Ron; Fornahl, Dirk - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2011

There is increasing recognition that the existence of clusters can only be understood when studying their dynamics over time (Audretsch and Feldman 1996; Pouder and St. John 1996; Swann et al. 1998; Maggioni 2002; Brenner 2004; Iammarino and McCann 2006; Menzel and Fornahl 2010; Ter Wal and Boschma 2011). In fact, clusters...

Spatial Relocation with Heterogeneous Firms and Heterogeneous Sectors

Forslid, Rikard; Okubo, Toshihiro - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Stockholms Universitet - 2010

The present paper focuses on sorting as a mechanism behind the well-established fact that there is a central region productivity premium. Using a model of heterogeneous firms that can move between regions, Baldwin and Okubo (2006) show how more productive firms sort themselves to the large core...

On the Development Strategy of Countries of Intermediate size - An Analysis of Heterogenous Fims in a Multiregion Framework

Forslid, Rikard; Okubo, Toshihiro - Nationalekonomiska institutionen, Stockholms Universitet - 2010

This paper compares two policies: trade cost reduction and firm relocation cost reduction using a three-country version of a heterogeneous-firms economic geography model, where the three countries have different market (population) size. We show how the effects of the two policies differ, in...

Labour market externalities and regional growth in Sweden: The importance of labour mobility between skill-related industries

Boschma, Ron; Eriksson, Rikard; Lindgren, Urban - Disciplinegroep Economische Geografie, Faculteit … - 2013

This study investigates the relationship between labour market externalities and regional growth based on real labour flows. In particular, we test for the importance of labour mobility across so-called skill-related industries. We make use of a sophisticated indicator that measures the degree...
