The Twin Transition and its geographical dimensions
The concept of the Twin Transition (TT) – the integration of green and digital transitions – has evolved from a loosely linked policy idea – especially in the EU’s post-COVID-19 recovery agenda – to an emerging topic in academic research. TT research has grown rapidly, focusing on the enabling role of digital technologies in addressing climate challenges and on the environmental impacts of digitalization. Recently, academic interest has turned to…
Trust the process
The transition to a circular economy (CE) is essential to address pressing environmental challenges. This transition heavily relies on technological progress and innovation. However, the geography of CE innovations is uneven, with some regions outperforming others in developing CE-related inventions. In this paper, we aim to deepen the understanding of the geography of CE innovations and its drivers at the regional level. Specifically, we investi…
Cap-and-trade policies and regional environmental innovation
We investigate whether more regionally stringent cap-and-trade (C&T) policies induce regional innovation in environmental technologies and whether this effect spills over to proximate regions. Compiling a novel regional dataset, we test this argument for the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) over the period 2005–2020. We find evidence of an intra-regional spillover effect, which is weaker in regions specialized in environmental technologies. W…
Green-Tech Transition Beyond Regional Borders
This article investigates how regions’ specialization in new environmental technologies is influenced by their exchange of green knowledge through interregional trade of intermediate commodities. By integrating recombinant innovation and embodied knowledge diffusion theories, we hypothesize that interregional trade flows embed and carry green knowledge, forming a network that promotes regions’ diversification into new green technologies and enhan…
Regions facing the ‘twin transition’
Regional technological diversification and the global network of embodied R&D
We investigate whether regions' participation to the global network of embodied R&D (GNRD) facilitates their technological diversification. Filling a gap about the role of global research and development (R&D) networks, we maintain that by patenting in pivotal GNRD industries, regions become more exposed to global knowledge and increase their capacity to diversify also in technologies less cognitively related to pre-existing ones. Using novel GNR…
Firms’ eco-innovation and Industry 4.0 technologies in urban and rural areas
We investigate the extent to which firms’ propensity to eco-innovate, adopt Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and leverage them to eco-innovate varies with their location. We maintain that urban firms should be more prone to eco-innovate and adopt I4.0 technologies than rural ones, and more capable to make the latter functional to the former. Using a large sample of European firms, we test and confirm these hypotheses only partially. Firms in rura…
Regional artificial intelligence and the geography of environmental technologies
We investigate the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) is harnessed by regions for specializing in green technologies. By considering the transformative role that AI is playing in the invention process and connecting it to the regional development of environmental technologies, we examine the relationship between green-revealed technological advantages and local AI for EU-28 (NUTS-3) regions over the period 1982-2017. Results show that A…
The geography of Covid‐19 and the structure of local economies
The aim of this article is to analyze the subnational spread of COVID‐19 in Italy using an economic geography perspective. The striking spatial unevenness of COVID‐19 suggests that the infection has hit economic core locations harder, and this raises questions about whether, and how, the subnational geography of the disease is connected to the economic base of localities. We provide some first evidence consistent with the possibility that the loc…
Going beyond Relatedness
We propose a new approach to regional diversification that, going beyond relatedness, investigates regions’ capacity to move along different diversification trajectories. By integrating evolutionary economic geography and transition studies, we focus on the patterns of regional diversification that emerge by retaining its place and path dependence and argue that local endowment of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) has a role in their sequential un…
Better late than never’
This paper investigates the relationship between green/non-green technologies and firm growth. By combining the literature on eco-innovations, industrial organisation and entrepreneurial studies, we examine the dependence of this relationship on the pace at which firms grow and the age of the firm. From a dataset of 5498 manufacturing firms in Italy for the period of 2000–2008, longitudinal fixed effects quantile models are estimated, in which th…
Migration, communities on the move and international innovation networks
This paper investigates the impact of migration on innovation networks between regions and foreign countries. It posits that immigrants (emigrants) act as a transnational knowledge bridge between the host (home) regions and their origin (destination) countries, thus facilitating their co-inventorship networks. It also argues that the social capital of both the hosting and the moving communities reinforces such a bridging role, along with language…
A new approach to migrations
This paper proposes a novel interpretive framework for studying migration and its implications in terms of innovation, entrepreneurship and regional development. We suggest that migration patterns and their impact should be analyzed through the lens of communities on the move (CoM): cultural communities marked by their own social capital, that is, shared values and network ties, which provide tacit knowledge and opportunities to their members and…
Regional Branching and Key Enabling Technologies
This article investigates the role of key enabling technologies (KETs) in regional branching. Taking into account the general purpose properties of these technologies, and referring to recombinant innovation theories, we argue that KETs knowledge could attenuate the effect that regional branching ascribes to technological relatedness, giving regions more scope for their technological diversification strategies. Furthermore, we claim that regions …
