Skill relatedness: A dynamic approach to regional diversification in the UK
Exploring the factors driving new industrial activities is vital to regional economies. Regional diversification typically involves leveraging local capabilities related to those underpinning their existing industrial base to develop new industrial specialisations that branch out from established ones, which is captured by the concept of relatedness . Despite growing scholarly interest, our understanding of how relatedness drives regional diversi…
Coworking spaces: A place-based approach for skill development in left-behind regions
Anchor entrepreneurs as microfoundational agents of regional industry emergence: The case of Scotland’s space industry
Shuffling the deck? Multiple transitions and the new spatiality of places and workspaces in the polycrisis post-Covid economy
This research engages in a critical discussion of regional policies in the context of fundamental shifts in the spatial relationships between places and workplaces following the COVID-19 crisis. Focusing on the case of major advanced economies to illustrate its arguments, the analysis starts from a review of the heterogeneous dynamics defined by multiple regional transitions in a context of polycrisis. Then, it assesses opportunities and challeng…

Coworking spaces and regional development: A role for policy
We explore how coworking spaces (CWSs) might contribute to place-based policy and regional development, especially in provincial towns/cities and rural/coastal areas. Drawing on interview and focus group data from regional stakeholders in three English local enterprise partnership areas, we examine the extent to which the attributes of CWSs contribute to ‘six capitals’ (physical, intangible, human, social, finance and institutional) widely consid…
Adaptation Trajectories of Dismissed Workers: A Critical Case Study of the Lithuanian Radio-Electronics Sector
This article explores why some dismissed workers adapt successfully to the changing structure of an economy, while others remain trapped in low-quality jobs and experience deskilling. The associated case study relies on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 50 former employees of four bankrupt radio-electronics factories in Lithuania. It is found that workers with 'inherited' skills that are deep and technical are able to enter high-quality j…
Smart specialisation, Industry 4.0 and lagging regions: Some directions for policy
At the heart of the European Union’s innovation policy is Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) as embodied in the Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) programme. So far, RIS3’s ef!cacy on the revival of so-called lagging regions has been weak. This is in large part due to the weak initial endowments of technology, social/business networks, poor governance and institutional failures that typify lagging regions. This com…
Enhancing innovative capabilities in lagging regions: An extra-regional collaborative approach to RIS3
Smart Specialisation (S3) is a place-based industrial strategy that forms the major component of the European Union’s 2020 Innovation policy (RIS3). Lagging regions, however, lack the technological capabilities and networks to fully participate and benefit from RIS3. Extra-regional collaboration offers lagging regions opportunities for technological upgrading to overcome this deficit. Using patent data for EU NUTS2 regions, we find extra-regional…
Skill up: Smart work, occupational mix and regional productivity
New technologies and sector imbalances due to manufacturing hollowing out have dented the regional stock of competencies in the EU labour markets. This raises concerns over the sustainability of the EU's competitiveness in the longer term. The present study sheds light on what occupational mix might be able to deliver greater regional productivity in the light of emerging industrial dynamics. We estimate panel regression models using regional dat…
