How Technology Investments Destroy and Create Manufacturing Jobs
This study draws on a longitudinal (2000−2020) firm‐level panel data set to investigate the relationship between investments in machinery and equipment, and jobs in the Swedish manufacturing sector. It finds a positive link between such investments and job creation in firms. Adding a firm exit indicator also demonstrates that low‐investing manufacturing firms are more likely to exit. Relying on a broad investment indicator, the results confirm fi…
Job relatedness, local skill coherence and economic performance
The local presence and composition of skills is commonly thought to have enormous implications for economic development. Yet, skills and the relations between them are notoriously difficult to pinpoint and measure. We develop a method that uses information available in Swedish job postings to measure the skill-relatedness of jobs and the skill-coherence of local economies. Our skill-relatedness measure can be assumed to be exogenous to local econ…
Longitudinal investigation of the stable and dynamic components of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Measure (WHOQOL-BREF) using generalizability theory
Upward job mobility in local economies
This article studies upward job mobility in different types of local economies. Relying on Swedish register data, we disentangle the impacts stemming from local labour market size, the presence of related industries and occupations and the size of own-industry and own-occupation concentrations. Results show that the local economic structure is important in shaping upward mobility outcomes. However, we observe different impacts from local industry…
Psychiatrists’ attitudes towards and willingness to prescribe cognitive enhancers in academic settings
Cognitive enhancers (CEs) such as methylphenidate, dexamphetamine and modafinil are increasingly used beyond their prescribed indications by healthy individuals without medical necessity, in academic settings. Prescribing of these stimulant medicines have increased over the last decade.Aim To explore psychiatrists’ attitudes towards the use of CEs in academic settings, and their willingness to prescribe CEs.Methods The study was conducted via an …

Perspectives were obtained from a group of Papuan medical students (attaining high and low grades) and Faculty staff (Papuan and Non-Papuan) at the University of Cenderawasih, Indonesia. This qualitative case study research employed semi-structured interviews conducted online via Skype. Data were analysed using a general inductive m…
Knowledge, entrepreneurship and regional transformation
Workers’ participation in regional economic change following establishment closure
This article analyses if and when workers affected by economic destruction in the form of establishment closures move to more productive or newly started establishments in the region, become self-employed, leave the region or become displaced. Results from multinominal probit models show that the majority of these workers face destructive employment outcomes from a Schumpeterian point of view compared to a matched sample of workers not subject to…
Labour market polarisation as a localised process
The present article creates a link between contemporary labour market polarisation and regional divergence and analyses the spatial patterns of labour market polarisation in Swedish municipalities during the period 2002–2012. The results show that the national pattern of labour market polarisation is driven by polarisation in clusters of previously manufacturing-dominated municipalities with low- and medium-skill production, as well as increasing…
Regional labour flows between manufacturing and business services
This article uses Statistics Sweden’s full-population geo-coded register data for Swedish workers and their labour market moves, between 2010 and 2014, to analyse regional flow patterns of employees between manufacturing, general business services and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). The findings generally show that labour flows between manufacturing and services have important bi-directional features, even with manufacturing general…
Time should tell (more)
Evolutionary economic geography theory stresses the importance of time and history to explain the evolution of regional economies. Yet, consistent empirical treatment of longitudinal patterns of regional evolution has largely escaped the focus of this new approach. There is much work in progress, which suggests that a deepening of the historical perspective is the next natural step in a further development of evolutionary economic geography. Howe…
Agents of Structural Change
Who introduces structural change in regional economies: Entrepreneurs or existing firms? And do local or nonlocal establishment founders create most novelty in a region? We develop a theoretical framework that focuses on the roles different agents play in regional transformation. We then apply this framework, using Swedish matched employer–employee data, to determine how novel the activities of new establishments are to a region. Incumbents mainl…
Sectoral and geographical mobility of workers after large establishment cutbacks or closures
This paper studies redundant workers' industrial and geographical mobility, and the consequences of post-redundancy mobility for regional policy strategies. This is accomplished by means of a database covering all workers who became redundant in major shutdowns or cutbacks in Sweden between 1990 and 2005. Frequencies of industrial and geographical mobility are described over time, and the influence of some important characteristics that make work…
Returning to work
Using matched employer–employee data on roughly 429,000 workers made redundant from large plant closures or major downsizing in Sweden between 1990 and 2005, this paper analyses the role of the regional industry mix (specialization, related and unrelated variety) in the likelihood of returning to work. The results show that a high presence of same or related industries speeds up the re-employment process, while high concentrations of unrelated ac…
Industrial and geographical mobility of workers during industry decline
This article follows the industry employment histories of all individuals who at some point have been affiliated with the declining German or the dismantling Swedish shipbuilding industry during 1970–2000. We analyse the situation of the individual workers leaving shipbuilding, investigating the extent to which they were employed at all, tended to move to related sectors within or outside the region, and whether such moves were beneficial for the…
Skill relatedness and firm diversification
Because of the importance of human capital, a firm's choice of diversification targets will depend on whether these targets offer opportunities for leveraging existing human resources. We propose to quantify the similarity of different industries' human capital or skill requirements, that is, the industries' skill relatedness, by using information on cross‐industry labor flows. Labor flows among industries can be used to identify skill relatednes…
Path Dependence Research in Regional Economic Development
Henning M., Stam E. and Wenting R. Path dependence research in regional economic development: cacophony or knowledge accumulation, Regional Studies. The concept of path dependence has gained momentum in the social sciences, particularly in economic geography. This paper explores the empirical literature on path dependence and path creation in regional economic development. It offers a critical reflection on these studies and outlines commonalitie…
Geographical location and urbanisation of the Swedish manufacturing industry, 1900–1960
This article introduces a new database, based on official statistics, of regional manufacturing industries in Sweden. We employ this database to examine the distribution of manufacturing activity across Swedish regions and cities, 1900–1960. Over this period we observe an increasing concentration of manufacturing activities, reaching a peak around 1940, across the northern, southern and western parts (NUTS-I areas) of Sweden. Over the same period…
The impact of aging and technological relatedness on agglomeration externalities
We study localization, urbanization and Jacobs’ externality effects on plant survival in \nSweden (1970–2004). We focus on two questions: (i) do agglomeration externalities \nchange with the age of plants? and (ii) what is the role of technological relatedness \namong local industries? We find that agglomeration externalities affect survival chances \nof plants. This effect, however, differs between corporate and non-affiliated plants. \nFurtherm…

How Do Regions Diversify over Time? Industry Relatedness and the Development of New Growth Paths in Regions
The question of how new regional growth paths emerge has been raised by many leading economic geographers. From an evolutionary perspective, there are strong reasons to believe that regions are most likely to branch into industries that are technologically related to the preexisting industries in the regions. Using a new indicator of technological relatedness between manufacturing industries, we analyzed the economic evolution of 70 Swedish regio…
The Dynamics of Agglomeration Externalities along the Life Cycle of Industries
Neffke F., Henning M., Boschma R., Lundquist K.-J. and Olander L.-O. The dynamics of agglomeration externalities along the life cycle of industries, Regional Studies. This paper investigates the changing roles of agglomeration externalities along the industry life cycle. It is argued that industries have different agglomeration needs in different stages of their life cycles because their mode of competition, innovation intensity, and learning opp…
Decomposing the Technology Shift
The aim of this paper is to conduct an analysis of the changing geographies of production and industrial renewal in Sweden during the period 1978 to 2004. Conceptually, we build on the regional version of the technology shift cycle thesis. This is performed in two steps and by combinations of national and regional empirical evidence. First, we construct a taxonomic method that distinguishes between renewed, followers, transformed, induced, contra…
