Addressing interregional inequality with Chinese characteristics? The Mountain–Sea Collaboration model in Zhejiang
Interregional inequality remains a persistent and pressing global challenge, yet scholarly attention has predominantly focused on its spatial configurations, underlying drivers, and socio-economic consequences, with comparatively limited emphasis on viable institutional solutions. This paper examines the Mountain–Sea Collaboration (MSC) model in Zhejiang Province, China, as an experimental institutional arrangement aimed at mitigating interregion…
Digital transformation of leading firms and Chinese cities’ participation in GVCs
While existing studies have primarily examined the firm-level drivers and outcomes of digital transformation, little attention has been paid to its regional implications for participation in global value chains (GVCs). Drawing on a large, multi-source matched dataset, this study investigates the influential mechanisms of digital transformation on local participation in GVCs across different regional contexts. It finds that digital transformation …
Unpacking the clustering of the creator with digital entrepreneurial ecosystems
Digital platforms have re-wired how value is created, distributed, and captured—yet the geography of the related Creator Economy remains poorly understood. To unpack the clustering of the creator, this study develops a creator‐friendly Digital Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (cfDEE) framework and constructs a comprehensive city‐level DEE index using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to capture the structural conditions that support creators’ entrepr…

Economic Resilience of Micro- and Small-Sized Service Enterprises in China During Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, telework emerged as an effective strategy for ensuring firm survival and resilience. There is still a lack of empirical evidence, however, linking the telework transition to firms’ resilience. Additionally, how the external digital environment influences this process remains unknown. Taking the 655 firms in China as an example, this study uses ordered logit regression analysis to investigate the influence of the tele…

Rural E-Commerce and Emerging Paths Toward Product Renewal
The role of extraregional linkages established by e-commerce in stimulating industrial renewal has yet to be sufficiently explored. We propose a framework that specifies the renewal of product as improvement in quality and the increase in the types of products, and understands product renewal as conditioned by the strength of extraregional linkages and the local capacity. Drawing on the original survey data on 241 Taobao villages in Zhejiang Prov…
Strategic coupling and institutional innovation in times of upheavals
For regions that are deeply integrated into the global economy, the question of how to remain competitive and resilient in times of uncertainty is a key concern. While strategic coupling is a useful concept for understanding local-global economic dynamics, the idea that a region can simultaneously couple into multiple production networks organised at different spatial scales and that regional actors can increase their autonomy by creatively combi…
Cognitive legitimacy and ownership heterogeneity
This study investigates the impact of local incumbent firms on new private firm formation in China by focusing on the cognitive legitimacy lent by different ownership types. We argue that new firm formation requires legitimacy spillover from local society. Based on the panel data of China’s manufacturing enterprises, we find that local ownership structure plays a vital role in new private firm formation. Incumbent privately owned enterprises enha…

The trials of China’s technoburbia
Set against the wider background of global suburbanization, this paper contributes to the emerging literature on the formation of technoburbia in China, and more importantly, the potential “urban contradictions” accompanying this process. Through a bottom-up empirical exploration of the Future Sci-tech City Corridor in Hangzhou and its embedded Featured Town initiative in particular, we observe how the future of technoburbia in China is by no mea…
Geography of knowledge sourcing, heterogeneity of knowledge carriers and innovation of clustering firms
Knowledge Search Pattern and Product Innovation of Firms in Low and High‐Technology Industrial Clusters
Geographical knowledge search and innovation have attracted much attention in recent years. Yet the existing literature placed much emphasis on the way firms search for new ideas and knowledge as well as the geographical dimensions of knowledge sourcing without taking accounting into the nature and characteristics of knowledge per se. We examine the relationship between knowledge search and product innovation in both low and high‐tech industry wi…

Geographical knowledge search, internal R&D intensity and product innovation of clustering firms in Zhejiang, China
Geography of Knowledge Sourcing, Search Breadth and Depth Patterns, and Innovative Performance
The geography of knowledge sourcing has attracted much attention as firms increasingly rely on external knowledge to accelerate innovation. However, the existing literature has been silent about the way in which firms utilize external knowledge and has largely neglected firm heterogeneity in geographical knowledge sourcing. This paper established a geographical search model by combining geographical scales of knowledge sourcing with firm-level kn…
Emerging geography of technological innovation in C hina's ICT industry
This study critically evaluates the relevance of the existing theory of technological innovation to the case of C hina's information and communications technology industry. Based on a large‐scale questionnaire survey conducted in C hina's three most important city‐regions, namely, B eijing, S hanghai and S henzhen, where the core of C hina's information and communications technology industry is located, this study reveals a significant regional v…

Placing Technological Innovation in Globalising China
This study critically examines the relevance of the perceived notions of localised production linkages, knowledge spillover and external technology transfer to the experiences of the growth of the ICT industry in China. The research is based on a major firm-level survey conducted in China’s three most important mega urban regions—Beijing, Shanghai-Suzhou and Shenzhen-Dongguan—where the bulk of the Chinese ICT industry is located. The results of t…
Industrial Clustering and Technological Innovation in China
The relationship between industrial clustering and technological innovation has been a subject of intense enquiry and heated debate. We examine the actual pattern of industrial clustering and technological innovation in China, focusing on the information and communication technology (ICT) industry. With our systematic analysis of the data gathered at the national level we found no significant relationship between spatial agglomeration and economi…
