Research networks play pivotal roles in the creation and diffusion of knowledge. It is widely acknowledged that frontier research tends to cluster around transnational (TRNs), which also represent strategic tools for nurturing innovation R&D-intensive companies. Therefore, they are crucial promoting rapid development knowledge economy underdeveloped countries. In this context, China's experience particularly relevant because country has invested heavily production, arguably one most...
Abstract We analyse one of the most important policy experiences for industrial clustering in Southern China—the Specialised Towns programme—that has transformed some Chinese clusters into backbone global production chains. offer a long-term, detailed overview programme and Guangdong’s specialised towns, classifying them as endogenous or exogenous according to their features, investigate contribution local growth rebalancing. This analysis contributes international debate on revisiting...
Spatially targeted policies have been a crucial component of the development strategy pursued by Chinese government. This paper provides novel empirical evidence in debate on place-based policy testing whether presence economic zones is associated with higher values industrial output and their impact heterogeneous across territories counties/districts Guangdong province during period 2000–14. The results show that level positively correlated offer support to idea effects territories.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulted in several psychological consequences. Past epidemiological experiences already showed the deep albeit heterogeneous repercussions of pandemics. Nevertheless, little is known about COVID-19 outbreak and possible strategies for boosting resilience patients with chronic diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Therefore, we designed a study aiming to assess changes mental distress during MS identifyfactors contributing resilience's development.We...
In most industrialized countries, temporary and non-standard forms of employment have become a pervasive feature the labor market. At firm level, however, their diffusion is less uniform than expected. While some firms exhibit high propensity to use labor, others make no it. The conventional explanations (market uncertainty, production regimes, competitive pressure) fail account for such heterogeneity. this article, authors develop an alternative explanation that links firm-specific...
Transnational research networks (TRN) are becoming increasingly complex. Such complexity may have both positive and negative effects on the quality of research. Our work studies evolution over time Chinese TRN role research, given leading this country has recently acquired in international science. We focus fields geriatrics gerontology. build an original dataset all scientific publications China these areas 2009, 2012 2015, starting from ISI Web Knowledge (ISI WoK) database. Using Social...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the case selective industrial policies for automotive industry in Thailand. Design/methodology/approach Founding on previous literature and official government documents, authors describe implemented policies, dividing them into four phases according main trend they followed. suggest results have or not reached by analyzing current state sector. Findings point that country were successful helping development sector as a whole,...
Regional economies are shaped by their economic histories and existing endowments. This paper explores the question: how do a region’s history institutional endowments affect its success trajectory in an emerging industry? Our case, electric vehicle development production, is industry which combines more traditional skilled manufacturing with knowledge-driven innovation activities. We present deep qualitative case studies of two regions, focusing on one firm each. The Tesla San Francisco Bay...
Abstract Focusing on the Italian population of academic entrepreneurs, we analyze effect establishing a spinoff firm researchers' attitudes towards carrying out other activities in collaboration with firms, namely, co-publishing and co-patenting. We investigate heterogeneity this terms existing collaborations firms pre-spinoff period. Using counterfactual analysis subgroups, verify that entrepreneurs previous publications diminish their increase co-patenting after founding spinoff....
China is nowadays the first market and producer in automotive sector. However, Chinese actors still look not able to compete internationally with global champions of sector, both as automakers component-makers. In this context, we analyse policies for technological upgrading on which national government have greatly focused since mid-Eighties. One main tools used by authorities foster endowment firms sector opening foreign actors, specifically through joint ventures. Lately, however, growing...
In recent years, the impressive growth of China after opening to market economy is facing long-term sustainability risks. particular, necessity couple economic with an increase in population's well-being has started be raised. As health a pivotal sector terms impact on life quality population, deepen knowledge factors and dynamics regulating enhancements this field becomes particularly relevant. Progress directly derives from progresses made scientific research. This paper analyses evolution...
Standard screening and core-periphery theories claim that temporary employment does not undermine the quality of permanent jobs. In contrast, organizational approaches suggest firms use contracts to pursue low-road strategies, which involve creation cheap low jobs also for employees. We test these predictions by matching administrative data at occupation, worker firm level from Emilia Romagna region (Italy). Job is measured through non-wage occupation-specific factors capturing...
