  • Knowledge sourcing by multi-locational firms in Chinese cities

    Open Access•Yiou Zhang, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Applied Geography•2025

    A linked firm-patent dataset is generated for a sample of approximately 400 domestic, multi-locational firms operating in China over the period 2001-15. Analysis focuses on the character of technologies produced within the different R&D plants of these firms. We show that most multi-unit firms produce different kinds of knowledge within their R&D units and that the likelihood of technology differences increases with the number of R&D plants withi…

  • Residential Segregation and Epigenetic Age Acceleration Among Older-Age Black and White Americans

    Open Access•Reed Deangelis, Victoria Fisher et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    Our study tests residential segregation as an explanation for biological aging disparities between Black and White Americans. We analyze data from 288 Black and White older-age adults who participated in Wave 6 (2019) of the Americans' Changing Lives study, a nationally representative cohort of adults in the contiguous United States. Our outcome of interest is epigenetic age acceleration assessed via five epigenetic clocks: GrimAge, PhenoAge, Ski…

  • Geographies of Knowledge Sourcing and the Complexity of Knowledge in Multilocational Firms

    Open Access•Anthony Frigon, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Economic Geography•2024•Referencias: 102

    The rise of the knowledge economy has placed innovation at the center of models of competitive advantage. Access to more valuable forms of knowledge remains contested as the geography of its production is uneven and as some knowledge assets are relatively immobile. Within this fractured knowledge landscape multilocational firms have clear advantages. They can exploit numerous localized pools of knowledge, they can shape the character of knowledge…

  • Knowledge sourcing by multi-plant firms in Europe

    Open Access•Anthony Frigon, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•European Planning Studies•2023

    Research on geographies of knowledge sourcing examines the organizational structure of innovation activities within the firm, the mechanisms by which knowledge is extracted from various external sources and the geography of these different activities. We augment this literature by exploring knowledge sourcing within multi-plant firms operating in Europe. Analysis makes use of linked patent-firm data recording the location of knowledge production …

  • Technological diversification of U.S. cities during the great historical crises

    Open Access•Mathieu P A Steijn, Pierre-Alexandre Balland et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2023•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 20

    Regional resilience is high on the scientific and policy agenda. An essential feature of resilience is diversifying into new activities but little is known about whether major economic crises accelerate or decelerate regional diversification. This article shows how crises impact the development of new technological capabilities within U.S. metropolitan areas by examining three of the largest downturns in U.S. history, the Long Depression (1873–18…

  • Where do capabilities reside? Analysis of related technological diversification in multi-locational firms

    Open Access•Anthony Frigon, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2022•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 12

    Where do businesses source the capabilities that influence their diversification? From the resource-based perspective, capabilities are located within the firm. For many economic geographers, capabilities are place-based and flow between firms in local areas. Others claim the capabilities that count emerge from non-local collaboration. The value added of this paper is a firm–establishment–patent dataset that helps identify the sources of capabili…

  • Evaluating the implementation of Smart Specialisation policy

    Emanuela Marrocu, Raffaele Paci et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2022•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 6

    The Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) is at the core of the 2014–20 European Cohesion Policy, supporting regions to identify the technologies and economic sectors that might comprise sustainable growth paths. This paper provides an early attempt to assess empirically, for the whole European Union, whether the choices made by regions in selecting S3 target sectors are consistent with their current or potential specialization patterns. Results sho…

  • Do EU regions benefit from Smart Specialisation principles

    Open Access•David L Rigby, Christoph Roesler et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2022•Citada por: 28•Referencias: 4

    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 mappings of technologies in terms of technological relatedness and complexity suggest a useful cost–benefit framework. We extend these ideas, locating European Union cities in a Smart Specialisation space and tracking their developme…

  • Do Capabilities Reside in Firms or in Regions? Analysis of Related Diversification in Chinese Knowledge Production

    Open Access•Yiou Zhang, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Economic Geography•2022•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 77

    Do capabilities reside in firms, in regions, or in both? Within economic geography, most contemporary research on diversification examines how local structures condition regional development possibilities. The underlying logic is that capabilities are generated within regions and sometimes shared between them. We challenge that logic, exploring whether capabilities are more likely to emerge within the firm and to flow across spatial boundaries th…

  • How do occupational relatedness and complexity condition employment dynamics in periods of growth and recession

    Open Access•Emelie Hane‐Weijman, Rikard H Eriksson et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2021•Citada por: 20•Referencias: 5

    Related diversification has generated interest in policy (Smart Specialisation) and academic (regional branching) circles, linking path creation to regional capabilities and performance. We develop measures of occupational relatedness and complexity for local labour market areas in Sweden over the period 2002–12 to examine whether these constructs are helpful in explaining spatial and temporal variations in employment growth. The results indicate…

  • Capital Punishment and the Legacies of Slavery and Lynching in the United States

    Open Access•David Rigby, David L Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•The Annals of the American…•2021•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 37

    Capital punishment in the United States is racialized: those convicted of the murder of Whites are much more likely to receive the death penalty than those convicted for the murder of Blacks. Capital punishment is more commonly practiced in places where lynching of Blacks occurred more frequently and in states in which slavery was legal as of 1860. Accordingly, scholars have debated whether capital punishment reflects a legacy of lynching or a le…

    Historians are increasingly studying lynching outside of the American Southeast, but sociologists have been slow to follow. We introduce a new public data set that extends existing data on lynching victims to cover the contiguous United States from 1883 to 1941. These data confirm that lynching was a heterogeneous practice across the United States. We differentiate between three different regimes over this period: a Wild West regime, characterize…

  • The Racial Position of European Immigrants 1883–1941

    Open Access•David L Rigby, Charles Seguin•ARTICLE•Social Currents•2018•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 12

    The racial position of European immigrants in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries vis-à-vis blacks and whites is debated. Some argue that many European immigrant groups were initially considered nonwhite, while others argue that they were almost always considered white, if sometimes still from a distinct intrawhite racial category. Using a new dataset of all lynchings in the American Midwest from 1883 to 1941, we explore differences in c…

  • Buzz and pipelines

    Open Access•Christopher Esposito, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2018•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 21

    Explanations for why firms in some clusters outperform others rest on the assumed benefits of local and nonlocal interaction. In this article, we extend research on knowledge sharing by modeling local and global interactions between firms distributed across industrial clusters. Our simulation model develops an evolutionary framework where firms explore and exploit knowledge sets accumulated over time by recombining technologies held by local and …

  • Smart specialization policy in the European Union

    Open Access•Pierre-Alexandre Balland, Ron Boschma et al.•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2018•Citada por: 126•Referencias: 10

    The operationalization of smart specialization policy has been rather limited because a coherent set of analytical tools to guide the policy directives remains elusive. We propose a policy framework around the concepts of relatedness and knowledge complexity. We show that diversifying into more complex technologies is attractive but difficult for European Union regions to accomplish. Regions can overcome this diversification dilemma by developing…

    Co-inventor data gathered from EU patents are used to measure collaboration in knowledge production between all pairs of nuts2 regions in the EU15 between 1980 and 2005. Gower's similarity index is employed to visualize the inter-regional collaboration space. National borders exert a strong influence on inter-regional collaboration in the first period examined as regions within countries tend to cluster together. Over time, these national border …

  • The Geography of Complex Knowledge

    Open Access•Pierre-Alexandre Balland, David Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•Economic Geography•2017•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 73

    There is consensus among scholars and policy makers that knowledge is one of the key drivers of long-run economic growth. It is also clear from the literature that not all knowledge has the same value. However, too often in economic geography and cognate fields we have been obsessed with counting knowledge inputs and outputs rather than assessing the quality of knowledge produced. In this article we measure the complexity of knowledge, we map the…

    We study the resilience of cities by analysing the relative capacity to sustain their production of technological knowledge in the face of adverse events. Using patent applications in 366 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the USA from 1975 to 2002, we analyse the vulnerability and response of cities to technological crises, defined as periods of sustained negative growth in patenting activity. We find that the frequency, intensity and duration of…

  • US Wage Inequality and Low‐Wage Import Competition

    Open Access•David Rigby, David L Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•Tijdschrift voor Economische en…•2015•Referencias: 49

    This paper revisits the link between trade and wage inequality motivated by two changes in the structure of trade. First, trade today is shaped as much by the exchange of components as finished goods. Second, low‐wage country imports into advanced economies like the US have risen dramatically since the early 1990s. We pay special attention to the timing of trade impacts. Consistent with prior work, technological change is confirmed as the key dri…

    David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2013•Citada por: 91•Referencias: 15

    U.S. patent and citation data are used to measure technological relatedness between major patent classes in the USPTO. The technological relatedness measures, constructed as the probability that a patent in class j will cite a patent in class i, form the links of a knowledge network. Changes in this knowledge network are examined from 1975 to 2005. Evolution of the patent knowledge base within U.S. metropolitan areas is tracked by combining the k…

  • Exploring evolutionary economic geographies

    Evolutionary approaches in economics have gathered increasing support over the last 25 years. Despite an impressive body of literature, economists are still far from formulating a coherent research paradigm. The multitude of approaches in evolutionary economics poses problems for the development of an evolutionary economic geography. For the most part, evolutionary economic geography imports selective concepts from evolutionary biology and econom…

    Techniques of production were measured for 18 manufacturing industries across 6 regions of Canada between 1961 and 1988. In any given year, production technology, measured by a pair of capital and labour input coefficients, varies markedly over space. The relative positions of regions in a two‐dimensional technology‐space appears consistent across industries. With industry‐mix effects removed, multivariate analysis of variance confirms that regio…

  • Accumulation and the Rate of Profit

    Open Access•M Webber, David L Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•1999•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 45

    In this paper we argue that as models of profitability and growth within the Marxist tradition have become more formal, they have relied increasingly upon assumptions of equilibrium. An alternative single-region, single-commodity model is proposed in which output, demand, and capital accumulation are independently determined and therefore potentially in disequilibrium. In the short run this means that profitability can be rising or falling, depen…

  • Impacts of Industry Mix, Technological Change, Selection and Plant Entry/Exit on Regional Productivity Growth

    David L Rigby, Jürgen Essletzbichler•ARTICLE•Regional Studies•2000•Citada por: 20•Referencias: 6

    RIGBY D. L. and ESSLETZBICHLER J. (2000) Impacts of industry mix, technological change, selection and plant entry/exit on regional productivity growth, Reg. Studies 34 , 333-342. In this paper we identify five sources of regional productivity growth: changes in industry mix; technological change by incumbent plants; selection, or changes in plant market shares; plant entry; and plant exit. These sources of productivity change are measured for US …

  • Growth and Change in the World Economy Since 1950

    Open Access•M Webber, Michael J Webber et al.•CHAPTER•Phases of Capitalist Development•2001

    The world economy has grown and changed since 1950. It is six times larger and more integrated than then, though growth has been uneven through time. Rates of profit, GDP growth and capital formation were greater before the early 1970s than since. While poverty, famine and the dominance of the industrial market economies are constants, other features of the global economy have changed — financial markets have become global (Corbridge et al . 1994…

  • Industrial and Regional Restructuring in the US Women's Dress Industry, 1963 - 92

    Open Access•Jürgen Essletzbichler, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Environment and Planning A…•2001•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 21

    In this paper we explore the impacts of competition on the US women's dress industry and examine the response of that industry in the form of technological change, industrial reorganization, and regional relocation. We demonstrate that women's dress producers adopted varying strategies to cope with competitive pressure at different time periods and in different places. In the 1960s, the dress industry was characterized by two main trends: technol…

  • Agglomeration economies and productivity differences in US cities

    David L Rigby, Jürgen Essletzbichler•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2002•Citada por: 15•Referencias: 13

    Plant‐level data from the Longitudinal Research Database of the US Bureau of the Census are employed to estimate the impact of agglomeration economies on industry productivity across US metropolitan areas. This analysis seeks to remedy three shortcomings of previous empirical studies of agglomeration economies: reliance on aggregate spatial or sectoral data; lack of attention to spatial dependence in data; and representation of agglomeration econ…

  • The Impact of Industry Mix, Technological Change, Selection, and Plant Entry and Exit on Metropolitan Labor Productivity in the United States

    Jürgen Essletzbichler, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Urban Geography•2002•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 7

    This paper examines the impact of changes in industry mix, changes in technology, differential plant growth, plant entry and plant exit on metropolitan labor productivity growth between 1963 and 1997. Analysis is based upon unpublished plant-level data from the United States Bureau of the Census. We show that manufacturing productivity varies markedly between metropolitan areas in the United States. The most influential components of productivity…

  • Technological variety, technological change and a geography of production techniques

    David L Rigby, Jürgen Essletzbichler•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2005•Citada por: 19•Referencias: 12

    How much heterogeneity in techniques of production exists within the economy, and how does that heterogeneity move over time? In this paper we show that the range of production techniques employed by establishments within individual manufacturing industries is large. We go on to show that technological heterogeneity persists over time: there is no evidence of convergence to best-practice or some other point in technology space. Next, we explore t…

  • Competition, Variety and the Geography of Technology Evolution

    Open Access•Jürgen Essletzbichler, David Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•Tijdschrift voor Economische en…•2005•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 44

    Change in evolutionary economics proceeds through the creative destruction of variety in firm characteristics. Firm routines, relational assets and the institutional environments in which firms operate shape the creation and destruction of variety. Despite the centrality of the concept of variety in evolutionary economics, analysis of the extent and the persistence of firm heterogeneity is rare. Notwithstanding the theoretical pronouncements of e…

  • Exploring evolutionary economic geographies

    Jürgen Essletzbichler, David L Rigby•ARTICLE•Journal of Economic Geography•2007•Citada por: 40•Referencias: 27

    Evolutionary approaches in economics have gathered increasing support over the last 25 years. Despite an impressive body of literature, economists are still far from formulating a coherent research paradigm. The multitude of approaches in evolutionary economics poses problems for the development of an evolutionary economic geography. For the most part, evolutionary economic geography imports selective concepts from evolutionary biology and econom…

  • Agglomeration and the Geography of Localization Economies in Canada

    Baldwin J. R., Beckstead D., Brown W. M. and Rigby D. L. Agglomeration and the geography of localization economies in Canada, Regional Studies. This paper maps the spatial variation in productivity levels across Canadian cities and models the underlying determinants of that variation. There are two main goals. The first is to confirm the existence, the nature and the size of agglomeration economies; and the second to identify the geographical ext…

  • Impacts of Trade on Wage Inequality in Los Angeles

    David Rigby, David L Rigby et al.•ARTICLE•Annals of the Association of…•2008•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 59

    Over the last thirty years wage inequality has accelerated markedly in the United States, reversing the trend of the previous half-century. The growth in inequality parallels the rapid rise in U.S. imports, particularly from developing economies. Standard trade theory suggests that the wages of unskilled workers relative to skilled workers will decline in developed economies as a result of greater competition from developing economies that have a…
